Five checks you can run on any receipt app. Stack's answers sit beside them.
The receipt photo that works
A good photo is the important step in any receipt app. If the receipt is easy to read, the app can recognize it more easily.

Questions about the receipt app
What is a receipt app?
A receipt app reads photos of shopping receipts. In Stack you get coins for scanned receipts, which you can cash out later. You just photograph the receipt on your phone after you shop. The longer version is on Earn money with receipts.
Which receipt app pays out?
Several apps pay out. Compare the threshold, the payout method and where the company is based. Stack pays out to PayPal once you've reached €5. You request the payout yourself in the app.
Do I need the original receipt?
Photograph the receipt you were given at the checkout. The retailer, the date and the total need to be easy to read. The app shows whether a digital receipt counts. Keep the paper until it has been recognized.
Is my data safe?
A company in Germany is behind Stack, and your data is handled under the GDPR. Connecting accounts is optional and you can disconnect any time. On any receipt app, look for an imprint and a privacy policy.
How do I get the money?
From €5 you request a PayPal payout. That's the only method right now. It's sent to PayPal in seconds. We don't promise fixed amounts.
