You can scan and upload receipts to automatically create expense transactions with Wave’s receipts scan feature. This feature is only available on a subscription plan. Learn more about the receipts scan feature and pricing.
Upload and attach a receipt to a transaction from a web browser
The receipt file can be in any of these formats: JPG, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, TIF, BMP, PNG, PDF, or HEIC.
- Log in to your account at waveapps.com.
- On the left-side menu, click Accounting > Transactions.
-
Find the expense transaction you want to attach the receipt to and select the dropdown arrow to the right.
To create a new transaction, at the top right, click Add transaction > Add withdrawal, then fill in the details.
- Select Upload receipt from the menu.
- From the file browser, select the receipt file saved to your device, or use the camera app on your mobile device to take a picture of your receipt.
Once the file is uploaded successfully, you will see a confirmation at the bottom of the screen.
Manually creating a new transaction to attach a receipt to before the same transaction is uploaded to Wave will create a duplicate. While reconciling your account, check that the transactions were automatically merged. If not, merge the two transactions.
