the suma app
General
We developed the suma app (app.mysuma.org) to stretch your money and help our communities save on the things they buy the most:
Food: our farmers market summer special, with more options on the way.
Transportation: free e-scooter rides and training available as part of the summer special, with more options on the way.
Utilities: none available yet, but coming soon! Let the suma team know what kind of utilities you want to see on the suma app by emailing us at apphelp.mysuma.org.
At the moment our app is only available as a web-based app, so you won’t find the suma app at the Apple Store or Google Play. The suma app can be accessed on a browser from a phone, tablet or computer.

Payment
Most prepaid debit cards should work. But, some prepaid debit cards can’t be used for “online purchases” at times, so please keep this in mind.
Unfortunately at the moment users can’t pay with cash. The team is planning to add more payment options in the future.
