Running a shop in Glasgow
Glasgow's position as a centre for shopping and fashion creates different settings for retailers. Buchanan Street is part of the city's established commercial geography, while Shawlands has independent traders serving neighbourhood customers. Glasgow is also the fifth-most-visited city in the United Kingdom, adding visitors to the resident customer base. A shop may therefore handle routine purchases, browsing visits and customers who want a receipt to take home with their goods.
Retail payments need to work both at the counter and where a customer is being helped. Teya Go can scan barcodes and take payments over Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro adds a built-in receipt printer for shops that want paper slips, while Teya Lite provides a smaller device for moving around. The Teya app and portal let a Glasgow shop owner see sales and individual transactions after the doors close.
Barcoded goods at the counter
A Buchanan Street shopper brings several barcoded items to the counter. Teya Go can scan barcodes and provides a compact card reader with Wi-Fi or 4G.
Helping customers across the shop
In a Shawlands independent shop, a customer is ready to buy after discussing an item away from the counter. A member of staff can carry pocket-sized Teya Lite across the shop to take payment. Wi-Fi and 4G are available on the device, and the customer receives a digital rather than printed receipt.
Receipts for visiting shoppers
A visitor shopping in Glasgow wants to keep a paper record of a purchase before travelling home. Teya Pro accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and its built-in printer produces the receipt. The owner can later find the sale among the transactions shown in the Teya app or portal.

Questions from Glasgow retail shops
Can Teya scan barcodes in our Buchanan Street shop?
Teya Go can scan barcodes and has Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. That makes it worth considering for barcoded goods in a Buchanan Street shop.
What suits a Shawlands shop that wants printed receipts?
Teya Pro has a built-in receipt printer and accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. It suits a Shawlands retailer wanting paper receipts at the point of purchase. Teya Lite is the alternative for digital receipts without a printer.
