Scan a receipt

Photograph a paper receipt

1. From the Receipts screen, tap the floating + button.
2. Put one receipt on a flat, contrasting surface.
3. Keep the full receipt inside the corner guides. Make sure the total and date are sharp and avoid glare.
4. Tap the shutter button.

The receipt appears in your list immediately as Processing. You can carry on; Quenta finishes reading and posting in the background.

Upload an existing receipt

Use the upload icon to choose a photo, image file or PDF. On the web, select Add receipt and choose the file from your computer. PDFs are useful for emailed invoices and digital receipts.

When you are offline

The mobile apps save the capture on your device before attempting an upload. It appears as Queued offline and retries automatically when the backend is reachable. Do not delete the row or uninstall the app before it has uploaded.

Get the best result

• Capture one receipt at a time.
• Include the merchant, date, currency and total.
• Flatten folds and avoid shadows.
• For long receipts, move far enough back to include all edges while keeping the text readable.
• If a photograph remains unclear, upload the original PDF where possible.
