Local guide
Running a shop in Southampton
Southampton is a major retail destination, with Westquay Shopping Centre its largest retail centre. Shopping demand also sits alongside the working port and cruise terminals, which bring international travellers into the city. The annual Southampton Boat Show adds a distinct seasonal occasion at Mayflower Park, with exhibitors and visitors gathering on the waterfront. Retailers therefore serve planned shopping trips, everyday purchases and customers buying while visiting Southampton for a particular event.
A retail payment setup may need to work at a fixed counter and wherever you show products to customers. Teya Go is a compact reader that can scan barcodes and use Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro provides printed receipts and takes contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For Southampton retailers accepting remote orders, Pay by Link provides a way to request payment by text or email.
Purchases during a Westquay visit
A customer shopping around Westquay Shopping Centre comes into your shop and asks for a paper record of their purchase. Teya Pro accepts their card or mobile wallet payment and has a built-in receipt printer. You can later see the transaction through the Teya app or portal when checking the day's sales.
Selling at the Boat Show
If you exhibit at the Southampton Boat Show in Mayflower Park, your payment point may sit beside displayed stock rather than a permanent shop counter. Teya Go offers a compact reader with barcode scanning and Wi-Fi or 4G. Choose your connection according to the arrangements and coverage at your trading position.
An order before a visit
A customer planning a Southampton shopping trip phones to order an item before coming into your shop. Send a Pay by Link request by text or email so payment can be made remotely. Check the transaction in the Teya app or portal alongside your own record of the item and collection arrangement.
