Scanning reads a receipt's merchant, date, total and every line, including the tax and the tip, and keeps the photo with its purchase. You check everything before anything is saved.
Scan a receipt
Start a scan
On Splits, choose Scan a receipt in the + menu. From any page, you can also search for Scan a receipt.
Add your receipts
Choose Take a photo on a phone, or Choose photos or PDFs. You can add up to 10 at once. Lay each one flat in good light. On a computer, you can use your phone's camera instead (see below).
Check what we read
Fix the Merchant, Date and Total, and any line: rename it, change its amount or type (Item, Discount, Tax, Tip or Fee), remove it, or add one. Compare with the photo opens the picture, and a line under the list tells you whether the lines add up to the total. Nothing is saved yet.
Choose where it goes
Pick one of the Matching purchases, or choose It's a new purchase and say what it was Paid with and the Amount paid (a tip you added by hand included).
Save
Press Save receipt. With a single receipt, its purchase opens so you can see it.
Leave Save these lines as the purchase's items on to keep the lines with the purchase. Then you can file items under their own categories or split it item by item.
Several receipts at once
Receipts are read a few at a time while you work. Checking and placing repeat for each one (for example Receipt 2 of 5), and Skip this one moves on. At the end, a summary lists what was saved; tap one to open its purchase.
Use your phone from a computer
On a computer, the scan window shows a code. Point your phone's camera at it, then snap your receipts on your phone one after another. Each one appears on the computer and is read there as it lands. Your phone doesn't need to sign in, and only the first phone that opens the code can use it.
A code lasts 15 minutes, and turns off if nothing arrives for a few minutes. Choose Show a new code to start again.
A purchase your bank hasn't sent yet
Choose It's a new purchase and pick the card you paid with. On a bank-connected card, your bank's own row takes it over when it arrives, keeping the items, split, category and files, so it's never counted twice. Paid in cash? Choose Cash or no account.
