Alternatives
Slip alternatives
Slip is a UK company, founded in 2021, that replaces the paper receipt with a digital one when the shopper's QR code is scanned at checkout. The receipt also works as loyalty and identity, and it feeds CRM and marketing tools such as Shopify, Klaviyo, Epos Now and Sitoo. JD Sports is its most-cited deployment.
Why people look
Why teams look for a Slip alternative
The reasons that come up in evaluations. Whether they apply to you depends mostly on where your receipts come from.
A receipt designed for our CRM isn't one our bookkeeper can use.
The line items are matched to the card transaction and coded for the books, and the same receipt still feeds your marketing.
Shoppers have to remember to show a QR code before we even know who they are.
Smartbills matches the card payment instead of a scan. The receipt is delivered even if the shopper never opens an app.
A business customer buying in our stores gets a loyalty receipt and nothing they can claim.
Business and personal purchases are split automatically, with tax categories on both, which gives the business buyer a receipt they can claim.

Smartbills vs SlipHow this list was put together
These are the products that come up in the same evaluations as Slip, drawn from what prospects actually shortlist against it and from the rest of its category. The order is editorial rather than a ranking, because we don't run benchmarks on products we don't operate, and a scored table written by a vendor about its competitors isn't evidence. Each entry links to a full comparison with claims specific enough to check.
