Why it worked
The video effectively uses a 'restocking essentials' or 'shopping haul' format, which is popular on TikTok, to subtly integrate the SumUp app. By showcasing relatable everyday purchases and then revealing the financial benefit (cashback), it creates a soft sell that appeals to viewers looking for smart spending solutions.
Summary
The video showcases various shopping categories like skincare, clothing, jewelry, body soap, fragrance, and shoes, all presented with a phone displaying a SumUp app interface. It then transitions to a person holding the phone, highlighting the SumUp app's cashback feature and the potential to earn up to £120 a year, concluding with the tagline "Spend smarter. Budget better. SumUp."

Product placement
SumUp (Acts: A payment processing and financial services company that provides a mobile app for managing finances and earning cashback. Its interface is operated, and it generates a visible result of cashback earnings. Removing it would change the video's focus from financial management to general shopping.)
