Receipt scanner: Capture receipts instantly

Just snap a photo using Xero’s receipt scanner app, and details from the receipt are automatically scanned into Xero.

A small business owner sits in a cafe using their mobile phone to capture a receipt using Xero’s receipt scanner.

Scan receipts in a snap

When you take a photo on your mobile device, the app scans the receipt details to populate the expense claim. Capture expenses as they happen to help reduce manual data entry and save time.

The capture receipt screen displays the save button to save scanned receipts.

Submit claims promptly

Your employees can submit an expense claim on the spot when they scan a receipt. No more paper receipts to organize, and you get an up-to-date picture of your expenses.

The approve claims screen shows a list of expense claims. An ‘Approve’ button displays beside each claim that needs approval.

Track spending easily

Track receipts as they’re submitted so you can see how much is being spent and on what. You’ll be able to view job costs and manage cash flow with greater confidence.

The explorer screen in the receipt app shows a bar graph of expenses so you get a visual overview of spending.
