Receipts - they are small, often crumpled and found in almost every pocket. Classic paper receipts have accompanied us on every purchase for decades. They confirm our purchase.
They inform us about return rights. This is an important proof in accounting for companies. But what makes them so indispensable, and why should we actually keep them?
Classic receipts are important for the buyer. They show that a product or service has been paid for. This proof plays 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 clever answer to this 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 the order of the business. Receipts are also the first point of contact 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 a smartphone, can be verified at any time, and cannot simply be lost. But why should only buyers welcome this digital revolution?
