Local guide
Running a shop in Swansea
Independent retail in Swansea spans the Kingsway and the smaller shops and boutiques of Mumbles. The shopping context differs: city centre purchases sit within everyday trips, while Mumbles combines browsing with its pier and seafront. Summer visitors lift weekend card volumes there. The waterfront's National Waterfront Museum and Swansea Museum also give visitors reasons to spend time in the city beyond shopping, so a purchase can be part of a wider day out.
For these shops, payment needs can include counter purchases, serving customers beside displays and taking payment for goods reserved by phone. Teya Go can scan barcodes and connects through Wi-Fi or 4G. Teya Pro includes a receipt printer, while pocket-sized Teya Lite provides digital receipts when staff move around the shop. Pay by Link can be sent by text or email for a phone order, and the app and portal show sales and transactions.
Weekend browsing by the sea
A Mumbles boutique has weekend visitors choosing items while others wait to pay. Staff can carry Teya Lite to take payment beside a display rather than asking every customer to return to the same counter. Its pocket-sized design suits moving around the shop, with digital receipts available instead of printed slips.
Barcoded goods at the counter
A shop on the Kingsway sells goods carrying barcodes and wants a reader that can scan them. Teya Go combines barcode scanning with a compact card reader and Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. It suits a counter where scanning is part of handling purchases, without requiring a claim about connection to a particular till.
A purchase arranged after browsing
After a day including Swansea Museum, a visitor phones your shop about an item they saw earlier. Pay by Link lets you send a payment request by text or email for that phone order. Staff can see the transaction in the Teya app and portal before handling the agreed collection arrangements.

Questions from Swansea retail shops
Can a Kingsway shop use a Teya device to scan barcodes?
Teya Go can scan barcodes and has Wi-Fi or 4G connectivity. That makes it worth considering for a Kingsway shop handling barcoded goods.
Which receipt options suit shops serving Mumbles visitors?
Teya Pro has a built-in receipt printer for customers wanting paper, while Teya Lite provides digital receipts and has no printer. A Mumbles shop can choose according to its counter layout and whether staff prefer to take payments while moving between displays.
