How can we help?

There is a Scan Receipt button at the bottom of the screen.

1. Tap Scan Receipt and hold your phone over the receipt. Add pages for a long one.
2. Check the shop, date and total. Fields that were read for you are marked.
3. Pick a category and tap Save.

Yes. Tap Import or Add, then Photo Library or PDF or File. It is read the same way as a scan; a PDF's own text is used when it has some.

You can also share a PDF or image to ReceiptsBox from Mail, Safari or Files.

Yes. Tap Import or Add, then No Receipt – Enter by Hand. ReceiptsBox makes a summary card from what you enter, and it is exported like any other receipt.

Every field stays editable, so correct it before you save. You can also edit a saved receipt at any time.

For better reads, scan in good light on a dark, flat surface with the whole receipt in view.

Yes. Search looks at the shop name, your notes and the text printed on the receipt, so “drill” finds the hardware store receipt with a drill on it.

Go to Settings › Categories to add, rename or remove a category. To move a receipt, open it, tap Edit and pick another category.

Yes. When you add or edit a receipt, set Return by or Warranty until, or pick a preset such as 30 days or 2 years. You get a reminder 3 days before the return window closes and 30 days before the warranty ends.

Upcoming dates also show in Coming up on the Overview.

Turn on Tax deductible when you save a receipt. The GST, VAT, HST or sales tax on it is read off the receipt, and the Overview shows this tax year's deductible total.

At tax time, filter Receipts by tax year and Tax Deductible, then export a PDF, spreadsheet or ZIP for your return or your accountant.

Export them as a PDF report, a spreadsheet (CSV) or a ZIP of every receipt image in folders by month. You can export everything, the receipts you are looking at, or ones you select, then send the file by email, AirDrop or Files.

CSV files open in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.

Yes. Filter the list to the period or category you want, then choose Export Shown. Or tap Select, pick receipts and export those.

When iCloud Backup is on (it is by default), every receipt is copied to your own iCloud after each change. On the new iPhone, sign in with the same Apple Account, open ReceiptsBox and tap Restore Receipts from iCloud in Settings.

Go to Settings › Recently Deleted. Deleted receipts stay there for 30 days and can be recovered.

Yes, in Settings › Backup. You can keep the copy already in iCloud or delete it when you turn the backup off. Your receipts then stay only on this device.

Sign in to iCloud in the Settings app and make sure iCloud Drive is on. Your receipts will then be backed up automatically.

Open the Settings app, scroll to ReceiptsBox and turn on Camera or Notifications, or choose which photos it can see under Photos.

It covers personal tax and a small side business: mark receipts tax deductible and export them by tax year. If you are a sole trader and need BAS, invoices and a vehicle logbook, have a look at TallyBox, our app for Australian small businesses; it can bring your ReceiptsBox receipts across.
