ECOlogical business = ECOlogical sales
ECOlogical shopping = electronic receipt

The present era is called the age of consumer society, where quality of life is judged mainly by the amount of unnecessary items people surround themselves with, and the pursuit of prosperity prevails over more important aspects of life.

One of the most important factors of life is health, and the quality of air and the environment we live in contribute significantly to it. The pandemic situation forced us to think about life priorities, and many people drew energy from spending time in nature.

The urgency of the demand for ecological responsibility is an essential path for the further development of society. Being ecological is modern, and shopping can also be ecological if the buyer requests an electronic receipt instead of a paper receipt.

What is an electronic receipt?

An electronic receipt is a cash register receipt that is not printed but sent to the buyer’s email. Ecological responsibility in sales also brings economic benefits to entrepreneurs.
