E-receipts are no longer the future, but the present. Legislation has entered into force allowing all retailers in the country to issue electronic receipts. We are moving towards a complete touch-less transaction.
The Polish company CE Technology sp. z o. o. offers a system for issuing and downloading electronic receipts that functions as contactless mobile payments. The consumer approaches the intended device and the receipt appears automatically on the mobile phone in the wallet of the MyWallet mobile app.
This allows the customer to view their purchasing costs and ultimately control their finances, thanks to the advanced features of the Expense Manager. The tool displays statistics at the selected time broken down by selected shopping categories such as food, clothing, health, beauty, home, etc.
The detailed data of the e-slip in the app allows an accurate classification of purchases, which is not yet possible with similar banking tools. It can be frustrating when an example of a grocery basket from a supermarket is classified as a food in today’s era, even though it may contain cosmetics or clothing.
The e-receipt has another big advantage – it’s easy to store and find if you need a return or complaint.
In addition to the functions of the e-slip, the app developers have maintained other useful functions.

What does the technological future look like?
Paper receipts are becoming fewer and fewer, electronic receipts are becoming more and more. Thanks to the technology, operating costs, such as processing time or printing, are significantly reduced. Such a change is also a shift towards the environment, ecology and our health. In Poland, about 12 billion paper receipts are printed every year, which are immediately thrown into the wastepaper basket after printing. This results in a consumption of about 600,000 kg of paper. In addition, the document contains harmful bisphenol A (BPA), and permanent exposure to this substance increases the risk of civilisation diseases.
Digital receipts are the gateway to modern forms of self-service shopping with in-app payment without having to wait in line at the checkout.
