digital receipt

Paperless purchase record

A digital receipt is a record of a transaction delivered or stored electronically rather than printed on paper.

Retailers email them, apps save them, and banks display them online.

Digital receipts serve the same purpose as paper ones—proof of purchase, expense tracking, returns—but are easier to search and harder to lose: I found the digital receipt in my email and got a full refund.
