We are pleased to announce that JustTip now has an integration with SumUp, one of the UK’s most widely used point-of-sale and payments platforms. Used by hospitality businesses across the country, SumUp helps businesses take payments and manage their operations with ease. This connection between SumUp and JustTip is a step towards bringing your payments and tipping processes closer together, making it simpler to manage tips in a fair, transparent, and compliant way.
What’s New: Integration Highlights & Benefits
Your Payments Platform and Tipping, Connected
For businesses already using SumUp to take payments, this integration provides a tighter connection between how tips are collected and how they are managed and distributed through JustTip. The two platforms working together bring full automation for handling tips in your business, ensuring accuracy across every tip transaction.
What This Means For You
For SumUp customers: card tips flow into your Tronc automatically. No manual data export, no spreadsheet reconciliation, no risk of a forgotten transaction sitting in the gap between two systems.
For finance teams: the integration produces a single audit trail covering both payment and distribution, which makes HMRC inspections and Tipping Act compliance reviews considerably simpler.
For staff: better visibility of how tips move from customer to your share, with fewer manual steps in the chain.
Supporting Compliance & Transparency
Beyond automation, having your payments platform connected to JustTip helps support compliance with tipping and Tronc legislation by bringing tip data and distribution into one auditable process. As with all JustTip integrations, transparency remains the priority for both employers and employees.
Reduced Manual Admin
As a result, connecting SumUp with JustTip helps reduce the amount of manual work involved in managing tips. Rather than handling tip data separately across different systems, this integration helps bring things together, saving time for your management team and reducing the potential for errors.
A More Connected Workflow
More broadly, SumUp already simplifies payments and day-to-day operations for thousands of hospitality businesses. Adding JustTip into that ecosystem means tip distribution sits alongside your existing workflow, rather than being managed in isolation.
Why This Matters Under the Tipping Act
Since 1 October 2024, the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act 2023 has required UK hospitality employers to pass 100 percent of qualifying tips and service charges to workers, allocate them fairly, and maintain three years of distribution records. Manual processes can get this wrong. The SumUp and JustTip integration removes the manual steps where errors typically creep in (late records, mismatched figures, missing transactions) and gives operators an auditable trail from card payment to staff payslip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the integration cost extra? No. The SumUp connection is included as part of standard JustTip pricing.
Do I need to be a SumUp customer to use JustTip? The SumUp integration is specifically for businesses already taking payments through SumUp. JustTip also works with other supported payment providers if you use a different terminal.
Does the integration affect my National Insurance exemption? No. The NI exemption on Tronc payments depends on the structure of your Tronc and the independence of your Troncmaster. The integration is a data connection between two platforms; it doesn’t change the underlying Tronc arrangement.
Will tips from SumUp appear alongside tips from other sources in JustTip? Yes. SumUp tips sit in your JustTip Tronc pool alongside tips from any other connected sources, and your existing allocation rules apply to the whole pool.
