The Purpose of E-receipts

You’re all familiar with paper receipts. With more and more of your purchases moving online, however, the necessity of printing the old-fashioned way seems to be slowly going away. So why not push things a step further and eliminate those pesky paper receipt slips from your life entirely?

You’ve all been in a store and received a paper receipt in a plastic bag. The receipt is usually placed in a desk drawer, wallet, bag, or trash can, where it can be forgotten.

The digital age has made business communication easier than ever, whether it’s to customers, employees, suppliers, or vendors. Many companies are spending their time focusing on how to improve communication with customers, but are ignoring one vital aspect of communication—receipts.

Using electronic receipts can bring many advantages to both companies and customers. 

• Digital invoices are more secure than paper ones because they don’t leave sensitive data like credit card numbers lying unprotected in someone’s office. 
• A digital receipt is a versatile marketing tool. Utilizing it can help:

1. improve customer engagement, 
2. increase customer loyalty, and 
3. boost your bottom line. 

• By making your e-receipts simple, clear, and concise, you ensure clarity in communication and reduce the time it takes for our customers to complete their purchases.  
• You have a financial investment in your business. Keeping track of that investment is critical to your company’s success. You need detailed accounting reports of who purchased it, what they bought, when they purchased it, and how much profit you made from each sale. But how do you keep track? Creating good digital receipts is a complex task and having the right tool is a necessity. A reliable receipt generator is a key.
• Going digital is not only the best way to track your business expenses, it’s also the most efficient way — no more paper receipts. 

• A digital receipt is simply a confirmation that your customer has purchased your product or service. For example, when you buy something online, the store will confirm that you bought it by sending you a confirmation email. A digital receipt can also include other information about the purchase, such as shipping details or discounts, or coupons for future purchases. 
• Digital Receipts is a user-friendly solution that helps you reduce costs, optimize purchase workflow and track expense reports as well as stock levels.
• Some receipts you get from most stores can be worthless. They are printed on flimsy paper, with one or (more commonly) two sentences of text. (Most stores don’t even bother to print prices, just the total.) They are easy to misplace, and they don’t usually have a space for a signature. And, of course, they are expensive to produce. Getting an e-receipt is a more practical solution. It’s environmentally friendly.
• You could get a paper receipt, but then you would have to carry it around for a while. Carrying paper around is a hassle, especially if you only need a tiny amount. Besides being secure, electronic receipts are more convenient. They have the advantage of being small and light. You can carry them with you, and they take up no space.
