Capturing Your Receipt’s Best Side
Do you have a “good side” when taking photos? Well, your receipts do too!
When you snap a photo to upload your receipt, we want to make sure you capture it perfectly – think of it as a receipt photoshoot. But before we dive into the best techniques, if you’re uploading receipts, you’re already a Superstar!
Not only is uploading receipts the easiest way to earn rewards from EVERY shop, but keeping digital records of your purchases also makes product returns a breeze. No more scrambling when asked, “Do you have your receipt?”
How Shping Works Behind the Scenes
With over 20 million products in our database – with new ones added daily – Shping uses AI-powered technology to analyse every receipt uploaded. It maps the receipt’s product descriptions to our database, helping brands understand what you love to buy. Occasionally, retailers update their product names on receipts and that’s where you come in! By scanning barcodes for affected products, you help keep our system up to date – and of course, you get rewarded for it!
How to Capture the Perfect Receipt Photo
Follow these quick tips to make sure your receipt is clear and ready to earn you rewards:
- Use a clean background – Place your receipt on a solid, flat surface away from other text or images. Black and white setups work best!
- Good lighting is key – Make sure your receipt is well-lit so all details are clear on your camera. No dark corners or shadows!
- Capture the full receipt – If it’s long, use the multi-photo feature to upload the entire receipt from top to bottom.
- Check the ‘Needs Attention’ folder – This highlights any receipt issues, like products that need barcode mapping. Your help here means more accurate data – and more rewards!
A Few Final Reminders
- Receipts must be your own and uploaded within 7 days of purchase.
- Each receipt can only be uploaded once – so double-check before submitting!
By following these steps, you’ll ensure your receipts are always on point – and your rewards keep stacking up. Happy snapping!
