Receipts that survive
Paper fades in a wallet and doesn't do well in the wash. A link does neither. It's still there at tax time, and it forwards into an expense claim in two taps.
No app · Tap with NFC or scan the QR
Tap. Done.
Receipts without the paper.
One tile on your counter. Your customer taps their phone and the receipt is open in about a second. No app to download, nobody reading out an email address. It sits next to whatever you ring up sales on today and doesn't plug into it.

Watch a tap, start to finish.
Ninety seconds at a real counter: the sale, the tap, and the receipt open on the customer's phone.
How a sale becomes a receipt.
Nothing about the way you take money changes. The tile sits on the counter and handles the receipt.
01
Tap
Ring the sale up however you do it now, then hit print. Your customer holds their phone near the tile. Older phone with no NFC? There's a QR on the front of it.
02
Save
About a second later the receipt is open in their browser. They can keep the link, save it to photos or pull down a PDF.
03
Done
Nothing printed. No roll to change halfway through a queue, and nothing to reorder. The link still works six months later.
Setup, start to finish:
- Plug it in
- Connect Wi-Fi from your phone
- Issue a test receipt
- Live
Nobody ever turns down a receipt.
Which makes it the best bit of screen space you'll ever get with a customer, and a shame to spend it on a total and a date. Once the receipt is a page on their phone it can ask for the review, hold the loyalty count, carry an offer.
More reviews, better timing
One tap to leave a review, while the coffee is still warm. Ask by email a week later and you already know how that goes.
A customer list you own
People can opt in from the receipt itself. No clipboard by the till, and nobody spelling their email out loud with a queue behind them.
Loyalty, minus the stamp card
The count sits on the receipt and goes up every visit. Nothing to print, and nothing left in a drawer at home.
A reason to come back
Put an offer on the receipt they just opened. You get maybe ten seconds of undivided attention after someone pays, so it may as well do something.
Your brand, not ours
Your logo, your colours, your links. As far as your customer can tell, the receipt came from you.

One tile instead of four bills.
Most counters are quietly paying for a printer, the paper for it, a loyalty app, and something to chase reviews. That's four line items doing the job of one tile.
The usual stack
- Thermal receipt printerRs 50,000
- Thermal rolls, a yearRs 2,555/mo
- Loyalty appRs 8,000/mo
- Review-request toolRs 7,000/mo
Hardware up frontRs 50,000
then every monthRs 17,555

then one line for the service, quoted per counterGet a quote
Illustrative figures: a mid-range thermal printer, roll cost at 200 receipts a day (same assumption as the paper numbers below), and entry-level pricing for a standalone loyalty app and review tool. Your own costs will be different. What we're pointing at is how many separate bills there are, not the exact total.
Works with the till you already have.
The tile is standalone. Nothing to connect, and no integration to sit around waiting for. If you can take a payment, you can hand over a Sliplio receipt.

Whatever your counter looks like.
Cafés & restaurants
Small tickets, a queue behind them, no time for a conversation. The tap takes a second, and the roll can't run out at 8am.
Retail
Returns get easier when nobody has lost the receipt. And the offer at the bottom of it brings a few of them back in.
Services & trades
Itemised work, tax lines, your business details. Handed over before you pack up, not emailed at eleven that night.
Hotels
Confirm a charge to the room at the bar, the spa, the restaurant or the front desk. Nothing printed at any of them.
Auto & mechanics
Parts and labour itemised properly, at a link the customer can still find when they come back about a warranty.
Medical & pharmacy
A quiet receipt that goes straight to the phone, ready to send to a health fund or an insurer.
The paper costs more than you think.
Thermal receipts mostly can't be recycled, because of the coating on them, so they go to landfill instead. Drag the slider to your own volume and see what a year of printing actually comes to.
25 — 1,000 / day
| Per year | On paper | With Sliplio |
|---|---|---|
| Receipts printed | 73,000 | 0 |
| Paper used | 11 km | 0 km |
| CO₂ emitted | 183 kg | 0 kg |
| Spent on rolls | Rs 30,660 | Rs 0 |
Worked out from 2.5 g CO₂ and 15 cm of tape per receipt, on an 80 mm × 80 m roll costing Rs 224. The CO₂ figure comes from published lifecycle studies. Roll length, roll price and receipt length are typical values, so put your own in if you have them. The answer comes out much the same shape.
Hundreds of billions of receipts get printed every year worldwide. Each one started life as a roll that somebody ordered, stored, and eventually threw out.
Things people ask us.
If yours isn't here, ask us. Support replies the same day on weekdays.
Will it work with the point of sale I already have?
Yes, because it doesn't touch it. The tile is a standalone device with nothing to plug into your POS and no integration to build. You ring the sale up exactly as you do today and the tile hands over the receipt. So it works with SwitchOn, Foodnerd, Oscar POS, Candela POS and the rest of them, and it works just as well if all you have is a cash drawer and a notebook.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes, and you do it yourself. Plug the tile in next to the register, follow the setup on your phone to get it onto your Wi-Fi, then issue one test receipt to check it's live. Nobody has to visit, there's no staff training, and you don't install anything on a computer.
What if a customer's phone doesn't have NFC?
Then they scan instead. Every tile has a QR next to the tap zone pointing at the same receipt, so phones with NFC tap and everything else opens the camera. This comes up more than you'd expect, since plenty of budget handsets still ship without NFC.
Do customers need an app or an account?
No, and that's rather the point. The receipt is an ordinary web page that opens in whatever browser is already on the phone. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for, and nothing you have to explain to someone while they wait.
What does it cost, and when does billing start?
We quote rather than publish a price list. What a counter costs depends on how many you're putting in, which finish you want and how you're paying, and a single headline figure would be wrong for most people who read it. Tell us those three things and the number comes back the same day on weekdays. What we can promise up front: the tile is included on an annual agreement, there are no setup or cancellation fees, the first 30 days are included, and billing starts when your tile actually goes live rather than when you ask. Request a quote.
Where is receipt data stored, and who owns it?
The receipts belong to you and your customers, not to us. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Receipts are digitally signed, which means nobody can alter one after the fact. And we delete your data if you ask us to.
Are digital receipts valid for tax and expense claims?
Every receipt carries what a claim or a tax record needs: your business name, the date and time, the itemised goods or services, whichever tax lines apply, and the total. Your customer can download it as a PDF or forward it into their accounting tool.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from your dashboard, in a couple of clicks. No fee, and no phone call where somebody tries to talk you out of it. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee too, so if it doesn't suit your counter you can send the tile back.
What happens if the Wi-Fi drops?
The tap doesn't depend on your network at all. The tile hands the phone a link and the phone loads it over its own connection. If the tile can't reach us to register a new sale, it keeps serving the last receipt it was given rather than failing in front of a customer.
Can I run more than one counter?
Yes. Every counter gets its own tile, and billing is per tile, so you can add or drop one as the business changes shape. Tell us how many counters you have — or how many sites, if you're a chain or a franchise group — and the quote covers the lot.
Why is there no price on the site?
Because the honest answer is “it depends”, and a headline number that only fits a one-counter café would be misleading for everyone else. A quote takes a minute to ask for and comes back the same day, and nobody rings you afterwards.
Ditch the paper roll.
Tell us how many counters you have and we'll come back with a number, usually the same day. Or build a receipt right now and open it on your own phone — no tile required for that bit.
