Tap to Retain

A free PapeX device, our Receipt Delivery Hardware, sits at your counter and works like a printer. Customers tap their phone for a digital receipt. You get a dashboard of every sale.

Go paper-free: switch off the printer whenever you're ready.

What the animation shows, with an invented demo store, PapeX Cafe: a customer taps their phone on the PapeX device at the counter and the receipt opens on their phone, with a coupon for their next visit at partner stores. They save it to the PapeX app. Back at the counter, they show the coupon and it is scanned: coupon used. Why it matters: one tap turns a sale into a reason to come back, and you get a dashboard of every sale.

  1. Tap their phone on the PapeX device
  2. Receipt opens, with a coupon at partner stores
  3. Save it to the PapeX app
  4. Coupon ready for their next visit
  5. Scan it at the counter: coupon used

What is Tap to Retain?

Tap to Retain turns the paper receipt into a reason to come back. Scroll to see receipts, then coupons.

What the animation shows, with an invented demo store, PapeX Cafe: a paper receipt grows until you can read it, then flies into a phone and becomes the digital receipt your customer gets with one tap on the PapeX device, no app needed. Then a paper coupon, $2 off the next visit, flies into the same phone and lands in the Coupons tab of the PapeX app. Why it matters: the receipt and the coupon stay on your customer's phone, so your store stays in their pocket and they have a reason to come back.

How does it work?

From your printer, to your customer's phone, to your dashboard. Scroll to watch it go.

What the animation shows, with an invented demo store, PapeX Cafe: a sale prints a paper receipt, which is folded into a paper plane and tossed in the bin. With PapeX, the same receipt goes to the PapeX device at your counter. Your customer taps their phone on it, a receipt card slides up, they tap View and the receipt opens on their phone, no app needed. The same sale then lands on your dashboard, where it is searchable, counted and charted. Why it matters: your customer keeps the receipt instead of losing it, and you see every sale, your busiest hours and your top items.

And on your sideThe same receipt lands on your dashboard.

  2. Paper gets folded, lost or tossed.

  4. Your customer taps their phone on the device…
  5. …a receipt card slides up on their phone, and they tap View…
  6. …and the receipt opens on their phone. No app needed.
  7. The same receipt lands on your dashboard.
  8. Searchable, counted and charted the moment it lands.
How does it work?

From your printer, to your customer's phone, to your dashboard. Scroll to watch it go.

A sale prints a paper receipt.

Your dashboard, included

Each receipt the PapeX device captures shows up on your dashboard as soon as it “prints.” And your customers? They leave with their receipt on their phone, and a reason to come back.

Every receipt, searchable

Find any sale by item, amount, date or the last 4 digits on the receipt, open it exactly as your customer saw it, and export it to a spreadsheet.

What sells, and when

Your busiest hours and days, and the items that actually move.

Taps and devices

Your tap rate: how many receipts customers opened. Plus when each PapeX device was last online.

Free device. Free install. Works like a printer. Paper is optional. Never touches card data. Dashboard included.

Is it safe?

The RDH (Receipt Delivery Hardware): a small black box that sits by the register and works like a secondary printer. Checkout stays the same, except the receipt goes to the customer's phone instead of on a piece of paper.
  • Connects over your Wi-Fi, like a printer.
  • Your paper printer keeps printing until you choose to switch it off.
  • Doesn't store, process or transmit card data. How we handle card data →

FAQ

  • PapeX works with most point of sale systems. The PapeX device is added to your POS as a second printer, so your checkout stays exactly the same.

    Not sure about yours? Ask us in a demo.

  • Almost nothing. Staff ring up sales exactly as before. Instead of handing over a receipt, staff invite the customer to tap. The receipt is ready to tap for 90 seconds after each sale.

    Your store can keep printing or go completely paperless!

  • Your checkout doesn't depend on PapeX. Your POS keeps ringing up sales, and your paper printer keeps printing while it's switched on.

    The device's status light shows what it's doing, and we're here to help. Get help.

  • PapeX never stores, processes or transmits card data. Like any receipt, it only shows the last 4 digits of the card. See the details.

  • It's free today. The PapeX device is free, and so is the install. Take advantage while it lasts.

  • We do, for free, in about 15 minutes. We plug the PapeX device into power, connect it to Wi-Fi, connect it to your POS, test a sale and hand it over. Your dashboard is live from the first receipt.

  • iPhone and Android. Customers tap and the receipt and coupon open, no app to download.

  • PapeX is live in the Bay Area. Somewhere else? Request a demo and tell us where you are.

  • Of course. Every PapeX partner gets a fully customizable page in the PapeX app, where shoppers find their receipts, coupons and anything else you want them to know. You manage it from your merchant dashboard, which starts the day we install your PapeX device. Ask about it in your demo.
