Frequently Asked Questions

How does Scan&Prints differ from other print shop software options?

Scan&Prints is built on three core principles: 0% UPI commission (100% of customer payments go directly to your bank account via PhonePe/GPay), zero upfront hardware cost (works on your existing Windows PC and connected USB printers), and instant privacy auto-purging (all uploaded documents are permanently erased immediately after printing).

Why do many print shop software tools charge per-page commissions?

Many legacy platforms deduct between 5% to 15% on every digital print transaction. For a busy counter printing ₹600/day, a 10% commission costs the shopkeeper over ₹21,600 per year. Scan&Prints charges a simple flat monthly subscription (starting at ₹99/month) with zero per-transaction cuts.

Do I need expensive touchscreen kiosk hardware to run self-service printing?

No. While some providers sell dedicated metal kiosk enclosures costing ₹85,000 to ₹1,50,000, Scan&Prints uses a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) web kiosk. The customer’s own smartphone acts as the interactive touchscreen, eliminating hardware failure, screen smudges, and expensive equipment financing.

Why look for an alternative to WhatsApp printing in Indian Xerox shops?

WhatsApp creates severe counter bottlenecks (3-5 mins per customer), risks customer privacy leaks, fills PC storage with gigabytes of junk files, and risks WhatsApp Business bans.

Can I test Scan&Prints without disrupting my current counter setup?

Yes. You can activate a 48-hour free trial in under 2 minutes with zero credit card required. Place your printed QR standee on the counter and test customer self-service alongside your current workflow with zero risk.
