Running a shop in Bristol
Gloucester Road is one of the UK's longest runs of independent shops, and card is the default payment method in nearly all of them. Elsewhere, MetroBus connects the city centre with destinations including Cribbs Causeway, giving Bristol's shopping journeys a wider reach. Independent retail here means serving residents making routine purchases alongside people browsing across several shops, with different demands on the counter and the shop floor throughout the day.
A retailer may want to take payment beside a display, scan a product barcode or supply a receipt at the counter. Teya Go is a compact card reader that can scan barcodes and connects through Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro includes a receipt printer, while Tap to Pay accepts contactless payments on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app without extra hardware. Sales and transactions are visible in the app and portal.
Scanning stock at the counter
A customer in your Gloucester Road shop brings a selection of labelled products to the counter. Teya Go can scan barcodes and take card payments, with Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. It provides a compact reader option for a retail counter where product handling is part of the sale as well as payment.
Taking payment beside a display
In a shop around Cribbs Causeway, you finish helping a customer choose an item away from the main counter. Tap to Pay lets you accept their contactless payment on an iPhone or Android phone using the Teya app. No extra hardware is needed for that payment method on the shop floor.
Providing a paper purchase record
A shopper buying a gift on Gloucester Road asks for a printed receipt to keep with their purchase records. Teya Pro has a built-in receipt printer and accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Later, you can see the shop's sales and transactions in the Teya app and portal.
