How do I attach a proof of purchase or receipt to an inventory item?

Written by Shane Jordan

Link receipts to inventory items to keep a record of your proof of purchase. This is useful for returns, warranties, tax documentation, and general record-keeping.

Enable the Feature

  1. Go to Settings (tap the gear icon)

  2. Tap Inventory Preferences

  3. Toggle Proof of Purchase Linking on

A disclaimer is shown on first enable explaining how receipt data is used. The Proof of Purchase Receipts section now appears on all item detail screens towards the bottom.

  2. Tap the Linked Receipts section

View Proof of Purchase Receipts

Proof of Purchase Receipts appear as chips on the item detail screen showing the merchant name and date, along with a thumbnail of the receipt image.

Unlink a Proof of Purchase Receipt

Tap the linked receipt chip to manage or remove the link. Unlinking a receipt does not delete the receipt itself -- it only removes the association with the item.

Good to Know

  • The receipt total is informational only -- it never affects the item's profit calculation

  • Multiple receipts can be linked to a single item (useful for items with separate purchase and shipping receipts)

  • Always keep your own copies of receipts as a backup

  • Receipt data syncs across your devices
