Local guide
Running a shop in Stoke-on-Trent
Hanley is Stoke-on-Trent's primary commercial centre, with the Potteries Shopping Centre providing 561,000 sq ft of retail space across 87 units. Elsewhere, the city's pottery factory shops and tours bring a different kind of shopping trip, including visits to ceramics areas such as Middleport. Retailers therefore serve both everyday purchasing and more considered browsing, where customers may want to inspect an item carefully or arrange collection after their visit.
At the counter, Teya Go can scan barcodes and take payments using Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro is an option where a printed receipt matters, with contactless, chip and PIN and mobile wallet payments. For an order discussed over the phone, Pay by Link lets you send a payment request without the customer returning to the shop. The Teya app and portal provide access to sales and transactions for checking shop takings.
Barcode scanning at the counter
A Hanley shop serving customers on a trip to the Potteries Shopping Centre may sell a mix of barcoded goods. Teya Go includes barcode scanning in a compact card reader, with Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. It offers a way to scan those products and take card payments using the same device at the counter.
Receipts for ceramics purchases
A visitor browsing ceramics in Middleport chooses something to take home and asks for a paper receipt. Teya Pro has a built-in printer, so you can provide one at the point of payment. Customers can use contactless, chip and PIN, Apple Pay or Google Pay while you prepare their purchase for carrying.
A purchase after the visit
After a pottery shopping trip to Stoke-on-Trent, a customer phones about an item they saw but did not buy. Once you have agreed the order and collection arrangements, send a Teya Pay by Link request by email or text. You can view the transaction in the app or portal alongside other shop sales.

Questions from Stoke-on-Trent retail shops
Can a Hanley shop scan barcodes with a Teya device?
Teya Go can scan barcodes and uses Wi-Fi or 4G. That makes it relevant for a Hanley retailer selling barcoded stock alongside the wider shopping trade around the Potteries Shopping Centre. Choose Teya Pro instead if a built-in receipt printer is the priority.
How can we take payment after a Middleport visitor phones an order?
Use Teya Pay by Link to send the payment request by text or email after agreeing the order. It supports phone orders, so the customer does not need to return just to use your card machine. Sales and transactions are visible in the app and portal.
