How myPOS and Billy are simplifying payments and fiscal receipts for Italian merchants

For many small businesses in Italy, a card payment still turns into a two-part process.

A customer taps their card on the terminal. Then the merchant switches to a second device to issue the fiscal receipt, entering the same amount all over again. During a busy lunch rush or a crowded Saturday market, those extra seconds add up fast.

It’s a familiar routine for cafés, restaurants, independent shops, bars and market vendors across the country. Payments and fiscal receipts still live in separate systems for many merchants, creating unnecessary work at the counter and leaving more room for manual errors.

Billy Scontrino – known simply as Billy – was created to make fiscal compliance easier for small businesses. Built on Italy’s Documento Commerciale Online framework, a digital alternative to the traditional certified cash register, the app allows merchants to issue compliant fiscal receipts without relying on bulky cash register systems. It quickly became popular among businesses that value flexibility, from market vendors and food trucks to independent retailers and hospitality businesses.

As card payments became the norm, Billy’s merchants wanted the payment itself to become just as seamless as the receipt. That’s where the partnership with myPOS began.

Bringing payments and fiscal receipts into one flow

The goal of the collaboration wasn’t to reinvent checkout. It was to remove one unnecessary step.

Instead of treating payment acceptance and fiscal receipt generation as two separate actions, myPOS and Billy connected them into a single workflow that fits naturally into the way merchants already work.

The integration is available across several myPOS solutions, giving businesses the flexibility to choose the setup that best suits their operations.

With myPOS Go 2, Billy’s Amount Exchange feature automatically transfers the payment amount to the card terminal, eliminating the need to enter it twice.

For merchants looking for an all-in-one solution, myPOS Ultra brings payments, fiscal receipt generation and printing together on a single Android device, reducing hardware at the counter while keeping the entire checkout process in one place.

The integration is also available through myPOS Glass, giving merchants another way to manage payments and receipts within the same streamlined workflow.

It’s a relatively small change from the customer’s perspective. For merchants, however, it removes countless repetitive actions throughout the day.

As Billy CEO Giulio Cesaroni puts it:

“Issuing a receipt and accepting a payment are two sides of the same transaction. They should happen together.”

Built around the way small businesses actually work

What makes Billy stand out isn’t simply that it helps merchants stay compliant.

It’s that it was designed for businesses that don’t always fit the traditional retail model.

Whether it’s a food truck serving lunch in one location and dinner in another, a seasonal beach kiosk, a market vendor or an independent boutique, these businesses need technology that moves with them, not systems designed around fixed counters and permanent cash registers.

Merchants now expect faster transactions, digital receipts, cleaner reporting and tools that work just as reliably from a market stall as they do from a permanent storefront. At the same time, customers have become less patient with fragmented checkout experiences, regardless of the size of the business.

“One of the biggest improvements merchants notice is simply having fewer interruptions during service,” says Cesaroni.

Supporting a changing Italian retail landscape

The partnership also reflects broader changes taking place across Italy’s retail and fiscal landscape.

As businesses process more digital payments across more channels, manually matching transactions and fiscal receipts becomes increasingly time-consuming. Merchants are looking for solutions that simplify compliance without adding complexity to their daily operations.

Billy manages the fiscal side. myPOS handles the payment experience. Together, they create a checkout flow that feels like one continuous process rather than two disconnected systems.

At the end of the day, nobody opens a business because they’re passionate about card machines or fiscal workflows. They do it to serve customers, grow their business and make every working day a little easier.

The best technology at the counter is usually the kind nobody has to think about once the day gets busy.
