User Journey: Digital receipt by fiskaly & Google Wallet™

Digitization is essential to stay competitive in the market. One aspect that is becoming increasingly important is digital receipts. These create added value for companies and their customers, optimize business processes, and are environmentally friendly. But what exactly are digital receipts?

## Today’s solution

At first glance, a digital receipt is basically the digital, legally compliant version of a sales slip. The structure and purpose are the same as the printed version. The difference is the output to the consumer: Transmission is possible via common media, such as scanning a QR code, NFC, and via e-mail or SMS.

In order to be a fully-fledged alternative to the paper sales slip, the digital receipt must fulfill all legal requirements and provide the necessary information. The design of the electronic sales slip is often based on the layout of its printed version and contains: 

* a header that shows information about the issuing company, document number, and date & time of the transaction.
* a list or table of items and the corresponding details of price, quantity, description, and discounts.
* a section containing all the information necessary, according to country-specific fiscalization, to constitute a full-fledged receipt.

Depending on the type of receipt, additional information may be required. For example: hospitality sales slips need more information in detail. Respectively, sales slips can also be customized to include promotions or coupons for the customer. 

## **Why should a digital receipt be preferred over the classic form?** 

At second glance, advantages that are both practical and forward-looking are revealed:

* No environmentally harmful substances: the use of digital cash register receipts saves thermal paper and ink, which are used every time paper sales slips are printed.
* Fast receipt transfer process: QR code transfer is currently one of the fastest ways to issue a sales slip.
* Excellent customer touch point: the potential advertising and info space on an electronic receipt is a great way to engage customers after the transaction and extend their user experience.

## Tomorrow's solution

The digital receipt is on the rise because it holds a lot of potential.

Many opportunities arise from storing digital receipts as interactive PDFs. For example, further links to product information, warranties, or social media channels extend the customer journey and improve the customer experience.

Another way to increase customer satisfaction is to link receipt issuance with apps in which customers can save their digital receipts. This allows sales slips to be stored and found indefinitely. No fading of the ink, no loss of paper receipts, and no worrying about a warranty or other claims that are bound to a sales slip and could get lost.

An additional aspect is the various marketing opportunities that can be integrated into a digital receipt. They create added value for both the customer and the business after the transaction through additional recommendations or advertising.

Digitization is essential to stay competitive in the market. One aspect that is becoming increasingly important is digital receipts.

Digital receipts - The future is today

After completing a transaction, receipts are issued to the buyer as a confirmation, overview, and warranty document. In many countries, the so-called receipt or voucher issuance is mandatory. Individual use cases of digital receipts create a clear picture of the benefits for companies and consumers.

## Sophisticated retail

### **Proper branding**

 Imagine buying a shirt for 500€ and receiving a cluttered or unaesthetically designed receipt. This subtle customer touch point most likely distorts or even damages your image of this premium brand. Individual branding of the receipt should never be underestimated. A uniformly designed brand experience, right down to the smallest detail, pays dividends in terms of positive consumer perception. And it does so in all segments - not just the luxury one.

### **Dynamic advertising**

Consumers find either no product advertising/promotions or outdated ones on traditional paper receipts. It is possible to fill advertising spaces with dynamic content and show customized advertising to the consumer on digital receipts.
For example, an old receipt can contain up-to-date advertising even after several years.

### **Online marketing in offline stores**

Integrating additional advertising space is no problem on digital receipts. Think of online retail, which has been using the purchase recommendation option as a successful model for years. Especially outside the area of fast-moving products, such as fashion or consumer goods, receipts are more carefully stored for warranty or a return of the product, this option can be used profitably. Why not recommend a matching beanie when someone buys a winter jacket?

## Impatient hospitality industry

### **Accelerated receipt issuance**

There is often only one cash register for the entire establishment at many hospitality venues. Although mobile devices are used for staff receipting, the only existing cash register must often be used for receipt issuance. This leads to unnecessary additional ways for the waiter/waitress and longer waiting times for guests.
[Issuing receipts directly via the mobile device's display using a QR code](/blog/static-and-dynamic-qr-code) simplifies the process for the waiter/waitress, and improves the customer experience significantly.

## Gas stations, vending machines, & Co.

### **Shortened payment path**

In Germany, the percentage of company cars among all registered cars is consistently around 10%, roughly 5.15 million cars. Those vehicle owners know how tedious the administration of paper receipts for the additional refueling fees is. Issuing a digital receipt - preferably right at the gas station - with a direct forwarding to the accounting software (or app) creates efficiency for several parties in the company at once.

## Other services

### **No waiting**

Have you ever waited like forever in a cab for a printed receipt? Sometimes the receipt printing takes as long as a third of the ride itself. Digital receipts provide a remedy in this case. QR codes can be made available in every cab and significantly speed up the receipt issuance process. Also in this case the receipt can be automatically forwarded to the linked accounting department upon receiving the receipt or [keep it safe in your Google Wallet](/blog/digital-receipt-by-fiskaly-integrated-into-google-wallet). 

### **Mobile services**

Many services, such as massages or physiotherapy treatments, can be consumed at home. But how is the receipt issued afterwards? Like in a cab, the consumer must wait a long time for the receipt to be printed out. Not with digital receipts! In this application, [the service provider can also offer a QR code](/blog/static-and-dynamic-qr-code) that simplifies and speeds up the issuing process.

Dynamic advertising, proper branding, online marketing, secure, environmentally friendly. These are just some advantages of digital receipt for your business.
