Add your first receipt

Let's add your first receipt. Open Add Receipt. You can scan a paper receipt with Take Photo, upload saved images with Choose from Photos, or type the details with Enter Manually. Digital receipts can also be forwarded through Inbox.

For a paper receipt, tap Take Photo. On your first scan, read the Scan Instructions and tap Got it, Start Scanning. Allow camera access if prompted. Place one receipt at a time on a dark, flat surface, with good lighting and no glare.

Keep the full receipt inside the camera view. The scanner can detect the edges and crop the image. Check that the store name, date, and total are readable before completing the scan. The native scanner controls may vary with your iOS version.

Back in Review Queue, remove any unwanted scan. Tap Scan More if you've another receipt to add. When the queue looks correct, tap Confirm, followed by the number of receipts. Receipto will upload and process the selected scans.

For receipts already saved on your phone, choose Choose from Photos. Select one or more receipt images and complete the photo picker. Receipto processes the selected images automatically. Use clear, complete images so the details are easy to read.

To type a receipt yourself, tap Enter Manually. Enter the Store Name, Date, Total, and Category. Use month, day, and year for the date, and a total greater than zero. The receipt date can't be in the future. Tags are optional.

Tap Save Receipt to save your manual entry. For scanned or uploaded receipts, wait for processing and check the result. If Receipto asks you to Check Details, review the highlighted fields and use Save and Continue after correcting them.

Email forwarding is another way to add receipts, including supported PDF and image attachments. Open Inbox and copy your unique address, then forward the receipt from your email app. Our Email Receipts video explains the full process. You've now seen every receipt entry method available in this app.
