Digital receipts for UK retail · Pilot programme open

Paper receipts, replaced automatically.

Shoppers tap their card as usual. The receipt lands in their ReceiptTap app seconds later. Retailers print less, handle returns faster and keep the tills and card machines they already have.

How it works

Three steps. Nothing new at the till.

Shoppers link a card once. Retailers send receipt data they already have. We match the two.

01

Shopper links a card

In the app, a card is swapped for a secure token. We never see or store the card number.

02

Retailer sends the receipt

Your POS sends line items and the payment token through our API, the same moment it prints today.

03

Matched and delivered

We match the token and push the receipt to the shopper's phone. If there's no match, a claim code is issued.

For retailers

Lower costs, fewer printer headaches.

  • Lower paper and thermal printing costs
  • Fewer printer issues and consumables
  • Reduced receipt waste
  • Easier proof of purchase and returns
  • A more modern in-store experience
  • Works alongside your existing POS and payment systems
For shoppers

Never lose a receipt again.

  • No more lost paper receipts
  • All your receipts stored in one app
  • Easier returns and warranty tracking
  • Less paper clutter, everything searchable
  • Secure, privacy-conscious delivery

For retailers

Cut paper costs, speed up returns and learn more about your shoppers. Live in weeks, not quarters.

Retailer solutions

For shoppers

Every receipt in one secure app, with return reminders and warranty proof built in. Free.

The app

Tokens, not card numbers

Card details stay with the card network. We hold an irreversible token that can't make payments.

Not a payment app

We never move money or touch payment authorisation. Payments run through your existing provider.

Doesn't replace card machines

Your terminals, acquirer and checkout flow stay exactly as they are. We connect at the POS software layer.

The product

One receipt, two views

What the shopper sees on their phone, and what the retailer sees in their dashboard — from the same transaction.

For investors and partners

A receipt layer for every till, not a new payment network.

ReceiptTap earns its place by sitting beside existing infrastructure. That keeps adoption cheap for retailers and lets the network grow store by store.

Clear need

Paper receipts get lost, fade and cost money to print. Shoppers and retailers both feel it.

Low-friction adoption

One API call from the POS. No hardware, no change to payment flow or acquirer.

Two-sided network

Every retailer added makes the app more useful; every shopper added raises match rates.

Practical rollout

Single-store pilot, measured results, then estate-wide. Partners can bundle it into POS software.

Example outcomes

What a pilot could look like

An illustrative worked example, not results from a live customer. Your figures depend on card mix and sign-up rate.

Printed receipts avoided
≈ 9,400 / month

A 3-store grocer with about 130 card sales a day per store, at 80% matched.

Thermal paper not printed
≈ 2.6 km / month

Using an average receipt length of 28cm.

Returns without paper
Every matched sale

Staff look up proof of purchase from the shopper's app or the dashboard.

Trust and privacy

Designed to know as little as possible

This demo uses mock tokens — no real cards are linked or charged.

Token-based matching

A card is represented by a network token. We can match a receipt to it, but it can never be used to pay.

No banking or card processing

ReceiptTap never moves money, authorises payments or holds card numbers.

Shopper-controlled

Shoppers choose which cards to link and can remove them, and their receipts, at any time.

Retailers see what they already have

Retailers get delivery status, not a shopper's identity or other purchases.

Sustainability

A practical way to print less, alongside a stronger checkout.

Paper reduction is a real benefit, not the whole story. ReceiptTap gives you measurable figures rather than broad claims.

Helps reduce paper waste

Most thermal receipt paper is coated and hard to recycle. Fewer prints means less in the bin.

Reduces printer dependency

Fewer rolls to order, store and change, and fewer jams at busy times.

Reduces printed receipt volume

Every receipt delivered digitally is one the till didn't need to print.

Supports sustainability goals

Per-store reporting on printed receipts avoided, ready for your ESG updates.

Paper figures in the dashboard are estimates based on an average receipt length of 28cm.
