Receipts - they are small, often crumpled and can be found in almost every pocket. The classic paper receipts have accompanied us for decades with every purchase. They confirm our purchase.
They inform us about return rights. For companies, this is an important document for accounting purposes. But what makes them so indispensable and why should we actually keep them?
Traditional till receipts are important for the buyer. They show that a product or service has been paid for. These receipts play a key role in exchanges or complaints, especially for higher-priced products.
Everyone knows the question at the checkout: "Would you like to take the receipt with you?" - and the smart answer is often "Yes!"
Receipts are also crucial for companies. They document sales, serve as the basis for tax returns and provide transparency in accounting. They are important for the tax authorities to check that the business is in order. Receipts are also the first port of call for internal audits.
This is where the digital receipt comes into play - an innovation that goes far beyond simply saving paper. Digital receipts are efficient, secure and environmentally friendly. They store purchases directly on the smartphone, can be verified at any time and cannot simply be lost. But why should only shoppers embrace this digital revolution?
