Paper receipts cost you money,
time, and missed revenue.
One API call per transaction replaces your entire paper receipt operation. Costs drop from day one. Every receipt becomes a structured post-sale asset.
The maths are simple.
Paper costs 2–5× more.
Every printed receipt carries hidden cost. Hardware, consumables, maintenance, disputes. Tabsy replaces the whole system with a single API call — and the savings start from the very first transaction.

🧮 A concrete example
A mid-size retailer issuing 50,000 receipts/month currently spends roughly €1,000–2,500/month in paper, printer maintenance, and staff overhead. Switching to Tabsy brings that to ~€500/month — a saving of €6,000–24,000 per year, before counting reduced return disputes and post-sale revenue upside.
Three reasons to switch.
All three compound over time.
Each pillar stands on its own. Together, they compound every month.
Cut costs immediately
Paper receipts cost 2–5× more per transaction once you count rolls, hardware, maintenance, and staff overhead. Tabsy removes all of it from day one. The saving is recurring — it compounds every month, at every location.

A paper receipt dies the moment it prints. A Tabsy receipt lives in the shopper's vault — permanently linked to your store, the exact items purchased, the warranty window, and the return deadline. That's a structured post-sale data layer paper never provided.
This is post-sale revenue that paper never had — triggered automatically from the existing checkout flow, nothing extra at the till.
Credible sustainability
Thermal paper is coated with BPA or BPS — it's non-recyclable and contaminates recycling streams. Every metre of paper receipt your store stops printing is a genuine, measurable substitution. Not a marketing claim. A real number.
- ✓ Known receipt length per transaction
- ✓ Known CO₂ per metre of thermal paper (~7.5 g)
- ✓ Real-time dashboard in the shopper's vault
- ✓ Aggregate impact across your customer base
- ✓ EU pushing for digital-first receipts
- ✓ BPA restrictions tightening across markets
- ✓ ESG reporting increasingly requires scope-3 data
- ✓ Early movers establish credibility before it's mandatory
Tabsy gives your sustainability team a real data point — not an estimate, not a pledge. And it shows up in every shopper's vault, and it shows up right after checkout, when it's most relevant.
