Side-by-Side Comparison

Which Terminal Should You Choose?

• Teya Go if you are mobile, budget-conscious, and do not need receipts printed at the point of payment.
• Teya Pro if you have a fixed till area, need receipt printing, or want full ePOS integration.
• Tap to Pay if you already have a compatible smartphone and want the simplest possible setup at no additional cost.

If your business uses an ePOS system like Loyverse or ePOS Now, the Teya Pro will give you the most comprehensive integration options.
