Local guide
Running a shop in London
London retail includes destination shopping as well as everyday purchases. Oxford Street is Europe's busiest shopping area and England's longest shopping street, while the wider West End combines shopping with entertainment and tourism. Mayfair adds a different setting within the same city. With London also recognised as a fashion capital, shop owners have to consider browsers, purposeful shoppers and visitors fitting purchases around other plans.
For retailers, payment needs vary between a fixed counter, assistance on the shop floor and purchases arranged remotely. Teya Go is a compact card reader that can scan barcodes and connect through Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro accepts cards and mobile wallets and prints receipts. For an agreed deposit on an item, Pay by Link lets you send the customer a payment link by text or email.
Purchases on Oxford Street
A shopper on Oxford Street brings several items to the counter while other customers continue browsing. Teya Go can scan barcodes and take card payments, with Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. It gives a retailer a compact reader option where the counter also needs space for purchases, bags and wrapping.
An item reserved in Mayfair
A customer contacts a Mayfair shop about an item and agrees to pay a deposit before collecting it. Pay by Link lets the retailer send a payment link by text or email. The customer can make that payment remotely rather than making a separate visit just to pay the deposit.
Shopping between West End plans
A visitor fitting shopping around West End entertainment may want to pay with a mobile wallet and keep a paper record of the purchase. Teya Pro supports Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside contactless and chip and PIN. Its built-in printer supplies a receipt at the shop counter.

Questions from London retail shops
Can a card reader scan barcodes in our Oxford Street shop?
Teya Go can scan barcodes and connects through Wi-Fi or 4G. It is a compact reader option for an Oxford Street shop considering its counter layout. If printed receipts are the priority instead, Teya Pro includes a built-in receipt printer.
Can our Mayfair shop request a deposit remotely?
Yes. Pay by Link lets you send a payment link by text, email or QR code for a deposit. A Mayfair customer reserving an item can therefore pay before collection, and you can view sales and transactions in the Teya app and portal.
Do you set up retail shops in Soho, Shoreditch and Camden?
Yes. We quote for retail shops anywhere in London, including Soho, Shoreditch and Camden, and across Greater London. Each quote is bespoke, based on your monthly card turnover.
I run a shop near London, in Covent Garden, London. Can you help?
Yes. We also help retail shops in nearby places such as Covent Garden, London, Fitzrovia, London and Marylebone, London. If you have more than one site, tell us about each one and we'll quote for the whole group.
Can I take payments over the phone?
Yes — send a secure payment link by text or email for phone orders and click-and-collect.
Can I have more than one machine?
Yes. Add machines for each till or the shop floor, all on one account.
Do you visit shops locally?
We set up shops across London remotely and by phone, and meet larger merchants in person.
