Countries and Currencies

Default merchant-account currencies for countries where SumUp operates.

A SumUp merchant account has a default currency based on the country where the merchant is registered. When an API request requires a currency, use the merchant account’s default_currency in the format defined by ISO 4217(Opens in a new tab).

Caution

This table describes merchant-account markets and currencies, not universal product availability. An API, SDK, payment method, or card reader might support fewer countries or currencies. Check the relevant product guide and API schema before building an integration.

The country coverage follows SumUp’s current list of markets(Opens in a new tab). Search by country name, country code, currency, or currency code.

Use the correct currency in an integration

Section titled “Use the correct currency in an integration”
  1. Retrieve the merchant account and read its default_currency from the Retrieve a Merchant endpoint.
  2. Send that value in payment requests that require a currency, such as Create a Checkout.
  3. Confirm that the value is accepted by the endpoint’s current API schema and that the product is available for the merchant’s country.

For online payments, also use the payment methods returned for the checkout rather than assuming that every method is available for a country or currency. See Payment methods.
