At Slyp we are in the business of customer experience. We think it's crazy that you pay with a smartphone but still receive a centuries old paper receipt. Traditional receipts are nothing but a burden to customers and outside of a proof of purchase, they provide no value to retailers or consumers. We are dedicated to creating world-class technology and helping the environment, one receipt at a time. That's why we have invented the Slyp Smart Receipt.
