Picky Global brings its countertop Receipt photobooth to Kickstarter after deploying 200+ photobooths across Korea



DOVER, DE, September 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Picky Global, the South Korean company behind PICKYPIC compact photobooths, today launched Receipt Photobooth on Kickstarter — a 12-inch booth that prints on ordinary thermal receipt paper in about one second.

Standing about 12 inches tall, Receipt Photobooth is built for spaces where traditional floor-standing booths cannot fit: cafés, retail stores, pop-up shops, and event venues.

Unlike conventional photobooths that require dedicated floor space and dye-sublimation ink, Receipt Photobooth sits on a countertop, shelf, or table and prints on commonly available thermal receipt paper.

From 200+ operating locations to a new compact format
Picky Global is not entering the photobooth market for the first time through Kickstarter.

The company has been designing, manufacturing, and operating photobooths in South Korea for three years. More than 200 PICKYPIC booths are currently operating across cafés, retail stores, bars, and event spaces nationwide.

Picky Global has also exported its photobooth products to 11 international markets, including the United States, Canada, France, Denmark, Luxembourg, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Qatar, and Kuwait.

Receipt Photobooth was developed on top of that operating experience, with the company redesigning the internal structure, power system, and software for a compact format and international use.

Analog Photo + Digital QR Download
The defining feature of Receipt Photobooth is its thermal printing system.

After a photo is taken, the booth prints a black-and-white image on receipt paper in about one second. A single roll produces approximately 500 prints, and the system requires no ink cartridges.

Every print also carries a QR code. Guests scan the code to download the original full-color digital image directly to their smartphone.

The result combines two experiences in one: a physical photo to keep, and a digital file ready to save or share.

More than a photobooth
Receipt Photobooth includes software features built for brands, retailers, and event operators.

The system ships with 20 default frame templates and supports custom frames featuring a brand's logo, artwork, or event design. Operators can add printed messages such as daily fortunes, promotions, or event copy, and guests can personalize their photos with simple drawings or stickers after shooting.

An optional survey can be added to the shooting flow, giving businesses a simple way to collect customer feedback and engagement data.

Together, these features make the booth a customer engagement tool rather than just a camera and a printer.

Designed for small spaces
Receipt Photobooth comes in two models.

The acrylic Urban model measures 190 × 230 × 316 mm (7.5 × 9 × 12.4 inches) and is available in five colors. The wooden Modern model measures 290 × 290 × 310 mm (11.4 × 11.4 × 12.2 inches). Both weigh approximately 5 kg (11 lbs).

Setup requires a power outlet and Wi-Fi connection, without the complex installation typically associated with floor-standing photobooths.

Its compact footprint allows it to function as part of the interior rather than requiring a dedicated photo booth area.

Built for places traditional photobooths can't reach
"Traditional photobooths require businesses to dedicate a significant amount of floor space to the experience," said Young Roung Lee, CEO of Picky Global.

"We wanted to create something that could turn a small, previously unused space into a photo experience — whether that's a café counter, a retail shelf, a pop-up store, or an event table."

Kickstarter availability
The global Kickstarter campaign for Receipt Photobooth launches September 22, 2026 at 9 AM ET. The campaign features both the acrylic Urban model and the wooden Modern model, with limited Launch Day rewards available to early backers.
