Quick answer

What is a receipt scanning loyalty program?

A receipt scanning loyalty program rewards customers for purchases made anywhere by letting them upload a photo of the receipt. In Pixalink, AI reads the receipt and gives it a confidence score from 0 to 100, duplicate receipt numbers are blocked, and your team approves the claim before points are awarded. Brands gain first-party customer data even when they do not own the checkout.

Who needs a receipt upload loyalty program?

If your product is sold by someone else, the customer’s name, phone number and purchase stay at their till. Receipt upload is how you get them back.

Manufacturer

Makes the product

Distributor

Moves stock

Retail store

Rings up the sale

Consumer

Buys and uses it

The sale and the customer’s details stay with the store

QR code + receipt upload connects the consumer straight back to the brand: points for them, first-party data for you.

Manufacturers & FMCG brands

You sell through distributors, who sell to stores. You never meet the person who uses your product.

A QR code on the pack or shelf opens your receipt form.

The buyer uploads the receipt and earns points from you, the brand.

You collect first-party data, then sell direct (D2C) through ordering in the same portal.

Shopping malls

Shoppers buy from dozens of tenants, each with its own POS and receipt layout. None of that data reaches the mall.

One receipt form works for every participating tenant.

AI reads many receipt styles, including crumpled or faded ones.

Your customer service team checks low-confidence receipts by hand.

Real-world receipts

Can it read crumpled, faded or blurry receipts?

Usually, yes. Receipts arrive folded, sun-faded and photographed at an angle, and the AI is built for that.

Many layouts. Supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and pharmacies all print differently. You tell the AI which fields to look for.

Imperfect photos. As long as the text is still visible, in our experience the AI reads 80–90% of receipts accurately.

A safety net. Every read carries a 0–100 confidence score, so low scores are checked by your team and points stay accurate.

Manual fallback. Staff can correct any field before approving.

Different stores, layouts and conditions: one receipt form handles them all.

From receipt to points

How does receipt upload work for customers?

It takes a customer under a minute, with no app to install.

1. Scan. A QR code on the pack, shelf or mall standee opens your branded receipt form.

2. Snap. The customer photographs the receipt; AI fills in the store, date, receipt number and amount.

3. Review. Your team sees the receipt, the extracted fields and the confidence score side by side.

4. Reward. On approval, points land in the member’s account and a WhatsApp message confirms it.

Accurate points, accurate reports

How do you stop fake or duplicate receipts?

Every claim passes through a review queue your team controls. AI speeds up the reading; people make the decision.

Duplicates blocked: a receipt or order number can only be used once per form.

Valid numbers only: check receipt numbers against an imported list or a number pattern.

Two-step approval: one person verifies, an assigned approver approves and awards points.

Clear rejections: reject with a reason, and the customer is told by WhatsApp.

FAQ

Receipt scanning loyalty questions

Still deciding? Talk to our team or browse all features.

What is a receipt scanning loyalty program?

It is a loyalty programme where customers earn rewards by uploading a photo of their purchase receipt. It suits brands and malls that do not own the point of sale, because the receipt proves the purchase wherever it happened.

How accurate is the AI at reading receipts?

In our experience the AI reads 80–90% of receipts accurately when the text is visible, including crumpled or faded ones. Every read has a 0–100 confidence score, and low-confidence receipts are checked manually by your team.

Does the AI approve receipts automatically?

No. The AI reads the receipt and scores its confidence; your staff approve or reject. High-confidence receipts are quick to approve, and a two-step verify-then-approve flow is available.

How are duplicate or fake receipts stopped?

Each receipt or order number can be used only once per form. You can also check numbers against an imported list or a pattern, and staff see the receipt photo before approving.

How do manufacturers get customer data from receipt uploads?

A QR code on the pack or shelf opens the brand’s receipt form. To claim points, the buyer joins as a member, so the brand gains first-party contact details and purchase data, and can then sell directly through online ordering in the same portal.

Can a shopping mall run one programme for all tenants?

Yes. One receipt form accepts receipts from every participating store, and the AI handles different receipt layouts. Your customer service team reviews the low-confidence ones.

What do customers receive when a receipt is approved?

Points are added to their account, and you can also grant a tier or membership on approval. Customers are told by WhatsApp and can redeem points for vouchers in your rewards marketplace.

Do customers need to download an app?

No. The receipt form opens in your branded customer portal in the phone’s browser.
