Paper receipts and scanned invoices can now be added to Google Wallet to fill gaps in personal budgets, MobilMania.cz reported.
Users can snap a photo of physical documents directly inside the application. The system processes the image to extract tax details, store names, and specific items purchased.
The update turns the payment app into a searchable purchase journal. Transaction histories previously showed only amounts, dates, and merchant names.
Invoices sent via email can also be saved into the software. Users select the plus button and choose “Vše ostatní” to locate the feature.
“Po pořízení doklad zanalyzuje, vyplní všechny kolonky a nabídne vám dokument uložit jako účtenku,” the report noted of the automatic capture system.
Stored records support searches by store name or specific items. Digital copies serve as proof of purchase for product returns and warranty claims.
Errors occasionally occur during the automatic scanning process. Unrecognized documents may be misclassified as transit passes or event tickets, though rescan attempts typically resolve the issue.
How do you add a paper receipt to Google Wallet? Open the application, tap the plus button, and select the “Vše ostatní” option. Position the camera over the document or choose an existing photo from the gallery.
Can you search through stored receipts? Yes. The uploaded documents support keyword searches based on store names and purchased items.
What happens if the app misidentifies a document? Unrecognized scans may be categorized incorrectly as transit passes or tickets. Users can attempt the scan again to correct the classification.
