Digital receipts for retail stores

The receipt reaches the customer's phone and your books as they pay, so a return three weeks later is a quick search, not a dig through the cash drawer.

Shop staff serving customers at the counter

A digital receipt reaches the shopper within seconds and arrives in your accounting as structured data, one record for returns and the month-end close.

A receipt the customer won't lose

By text, email or a QR code at the terminal. The shopper picks once, and every purchase after that shows up the same way a few seconds after their card goes through.

  • Sent straight from the POS, never scanned afterwards
  • Works across in-store, online and mobile purchases
  • Carries your store's branding

Returns without the receipt hunt

Look up any purchase by card, date or amount and the original sale comes back with every item and its tax. A partial refund is for the exact amount.

  • Search by card, date, amount or customer
  • Item-level detail for correct partial refunds
  • Refunds recorded against the same sale in your books

Every store's numbers in one view

Locations roll up without anyone exporting a file. Compare margins between stores, then click from a combined total down to the sale behind it.

Why teams switch

The receipt is gone when the customer needs it.

A customer wants to return something and can't find the receipt. A cashier has to decide whether to believe them.

Staff can find any purchase by card, date or amount in a few seconds, whether it was bought in store, online or on a phone, and refund against the real sale.

Every store reports its spending a little differently, and head office fixes it by hand before trusting a total.

Every location uses the same chart of accounts from the moment a transaction is recorded. The month-end numbers already line up.

Nobody tracks what we spend on receipt paper, but we reorder rolls every week.

Once customers pick digital receipts, fewer rolls go through the printer, and you can see exactly how many fewer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before they sign up.

They get it by text, by email or by scanning a QR code at the terminal. They choose once, every later purchase arrives the same way, and there's no app to install.

Yes. Digital receipts run alongside your current printer instead of replacing it, and most stores find paper use drops on its own once customers are offered the choice at the counter.

Staff look up the purchase by card, date or amount, and the original sale comes back with its items and tax. A partial return refunds the right amount without a manager having to step in.

Yes, and that's where they help most. Buying online and returning in store is the case that usually goes wrong, because the website and the POS keep separate records. With Smartbills both channels point to the same one.
