Running a shop in Portsmouth
Portsmouth retail is not confined to a single shopping setting. Commercial Road and Cascades Shopping Centre anchor city-centre shopping, while Albert Road in Southsea has an independent retail strip with day-to-night trade and pronounced weekend swings. Ocean Retail Park occupies a former metal-box factory site on the north-eastern side of Portsea Island. For shopkeepers, those are different customer journeys, from a planned shopping trip to browsing between other activities.
Those journeys create a mix of counter purchases, enquiries about goods and payments taken elsewhere on the shop floor. Teya Go can scan barcodes and connects through Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro adds a built-in receipt printer for shops that want paper receipts. Tap to Pay accepts contactless on an iPhone or Android phone through the Teya app, while the app and portal provide a view of sales and transactions.
Purchases during a shopping trip
A customer visiting Commercial Road adds several items to their purchase after browsing your shop. Teya Go can scan barcodes and uses Wi-Fi or 4G, making it an option where barcode scanning forms part of the sales process. For reviewing takings later, sales and transactions are visible in the Teya app and portal.
Weekend browsing on Albert Road
Weekend trade on Albert Road can combine browsing with customers ready to buy while you are away from the counter. Tap to Pay lets you accept a contactless payment on an iPhone or Android phone using the Teya app. No extra hardware is needed for that phone-based payment option in your shop.
Paper receipts at the counter
A shopper making a purchase at Ocean Retail Park wants a paper receipt to keep with their records. Teya Pro includes a built-in receipt printer and accepts contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Its Wi-Fi with 4G fallback gives your counter terminal alternative ways to connect for payments.

Questions from Portsmouth retail shops
Which Teya device can scan barcodes in my Portsmouth shop?
Teya Go can scan barcodes and has Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. It is worth considering for a Commercial Road shop where scanning is part of serving customers. If printed payment receipts are your priority instead, Teya Pro has a built-in receipt printer.
Can my Albert Road shop take payment on the shop floor?
Yes. Tap to Pay takes contactless payments through the Teya app on an iPhone or Android phone without extra hardware. For an Albert Road retailer helping customers away from the counter, it provides a phone-based way to complete the payment where you are serving.
