Pavatee installs inline between your point-of-sale system and your receipt printer. Customers tap their phone or an NFC card to get a digital receipt instead of paper — no software integration, no POS reconfiguration, nothing to install on the till.
Get Pavatee for your store71% of consumers say they prefer digital receipts, yet actual adoption sits at only about 27% across sectors. The gap exists because the only real path to digital receipts today requires integrating with the POS software itself — something independent retailers on older or simpler systems can't do, or can't justify.
Thermal receipt paper is also a real ongoing cost, in a market growing roughly 9% annually, and commonly contains BPA. And even where digital receipts are offered today, customers are typically asked to type their real email or phone number into the POS, handing their contact information straight into the retailer's marketing system.
Pavatee installs inline between a store's POS and its receipt printer — network, USB, or serial, whichever the store already has — with no POS software changes required. It holds each receipt until it's actually needed: the customer taps their phone or an NFC card to go paperless, the cashier can force an immediate print, and if neither happens before the next sale, that receipt prints then to make room — so nothing is ever lost, but nothing prints on paper before it has to.
Because it works at the printer's own protocol instead of through POS software, it works with any POS — and because it never asks the customer for contact information, the retailer never captures an email or phone number just to offer a digital receipt. Installation requires no reconfiguration of the POS or printer.
The customer taps their phone or an NFC card on the device. The receipt goes digital — nothing prints on paper.
The cashier can press the button on the device at any time to print the receipt immediately, exactly as it works today.
No timer, no default print. If neither of the above happens, the next sale simply takes its place — the still-pending receipt prints then, so it's never lost, but nothing prints before it's actually needed.
Most digital-receipt approaches still print by default after a short delay. Pavatee doesn't — a held receipt stays paperless until the customer taps, the cashier presses the button, or the next sale genuinely needs the printer back.
A receipt that never needs to print is a receipt your store never buys the paper for, on top of whatever share of customers go fully digital.
Thermal receipt paper is made from wood pulp like any other paper. Printing less of it means less demand on the trees that supply it.
Thermal paper commonly contains BPA. Every receipt that goes digital is one less BPA-coated slip a customer carries home.
Going paperless shouldn't mean handing a customer's email or phone number to the store just to skip a piece of paper. Pavatee never asks for either at the till.
Customers never hand their email or phone number to the store, and Pavatee never passes it along either — nothing for the retailer to collect, store, or use for marketing.
Every receipt is encrypted on the device itself, before anything is ever sent to the cloud.
Every existing competitor — Slip, refive, ReceiptHero, TapReceipt, Receiptless — integrates at the POS software layer, which means each one depends on POS vendor cooperation and can't serve retailers on older or simpler systems. Pavatee works one layer below, at the printer protocol itself, so it works with any POS regardless of brand or age.
Now piloting with independent retailers in Halifax and Bedford, Nova Scotia — general retail, cafes, and specialty shops running standalone POS/cash-register setups that can't realistically integrate with software-based digital-receipt providers. Expanding city by city based on pilot results.
