Live in 90 seconds.

Talea reads the receipt your till already prints. Nothing to install, nothing to migrate, nobody on-site.

• Zero integrationOne cable into the printer line. That's the whole setup.
• Any POS — old or newIf your till prints receipts, Talea works. Square, Clover, Shopify, Zettle, SumUp, or the till you've had for twenty years.
• No firmware faffAll the intelligence lives in the cloud, not at your counter.

Tap. Saved. Done.

No app to download, no email to spell out at the counter, no queue held up. It feels like magic — it's just NFC.

Paper receipts printed in the UK every year — most coated in chemicals that make them impossible to recycle. Every Talea box takes thousands out of circulation.

The ink is the problem.

Thermal receipts aren't printed with ink at all. The paper is coated in bisphenols — hormone-disrupting chemicals that transfer to your skin and follow the paper into the recycling stream.

• Hormone disruptorsBPA and BPS mimic oestrogen, interfering with metabolism, growth and reproduction. When BPA was banned, most paper switched to BPS — a near-identical substitute.
• Absorbed in secondsHolding one receipt for ten seconds can exceed the safe BPS exposure limit — and hand sanitiser increases how much gets through the skin.
• Unrecyclable by designThe coating leaches into the pulp and binds to recycled fibre — ending up in paper towels and food packaging.

“We do not recommend recycling receipts unless they are known to be bisphenol-free.”— Fidra, environmental charity
