But that was my point exactly. Sure, you can live in Sweden without even knowing how cash looks like so it is cashless in a way. But, if the cash register is not functioning then you are done* with or without cash in your pocket.

* I'd wager that if you know the prices and keep track of what you sell, you'd be fine recording the transactions after the fact.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s illegal to accept payment without offering a receipt with all of the correct info, which among a bunch of things include a unique incrementing receipt number.
It is more about being able to produce the receipt to the tax authorities. Even street hawkers have to have a certified machine in sweden now.
