Scanning Receipts
Last updated About 1 year ago
The scanner will attempt to extract the date, vendor, total amount (not subtotal), tax fields, saved payment methods, and category. You can tap on any field (image included) to edit it before saving.

To automatically scan a receipt
For the best results, place the receipt on a contrasting background with good lighting. For example, place a light-colored receipt on top of a dark surface.
Tap the blue “Scan” button (bottom of the screen)
Hover the phone over the receipt - try to capture a flat angle (tilt the phone forward if needed)
A receipt preview will appear. You can tap any field to edit it.
