Team management roles 

When you create team member profiles for each of your employees, you are also able to grant them predefined permissions based on their roles: 

  • Cashier: can only process card payments 

  • Administrator: able to take card payments, view sales history, issue refunds, and manage the item catalogue

  • Accountant: able to view invoice history and edit the items catalogue

You can also create custom roles to suit your business needs, selecting exactly what each team member can do, such as:  

  • “Checkout”: process payments via card reader or point of sale systems

  • “Team management”: view team members' details  

  • “Sales reports”: see their own sales data in the reports

  • “Items and inventory”: create and edit items, categories, modifiers, option sets, and inventory 

  • “Manage taxes”: enable and manage tax rates

  • Bookings”: view and manage appointments in your calendar 

  • “Payment links”: View and create payment links

Can employees update personal or business details?

No, only the main SumUp account holder can update personal or business details. Employees do not have access permissions to make these changes.
