Receipts, but smarter: automatic receipts are only the beginning

In case you missed it: Yoco now does automatic receipts - a South African first.
Receipts - we need them, but they’re annoying right?
For your customers, they’re easy to lose, and often forgotten the moment they’re printed or sent, but once needed, they’re hard to find.
For you, they’re slowing down queues, adding friction at checkout. Plus they rarely do much beyond proving a purchase.
But this is exactly what we’re changing by making receipts automatic.
So, what’s an automatic receipt?
When a customer checks out on a Yoco device, they are asked to enter their email address.
Now, once they’ve done this, every time they pay, on any Yoco device, anywhere, their receipt is sent automatically. No re-entering details. No paper. No delays. Ever again.
Basically, the system recognises the customer’s email address securely via their card, and the receipt just… happens.
Small change, big impact!
But it’s only the beginning
