Digital receipts: Benefits, use cases and how they work
What are digital receipts and why are businesses switching? Real-world use cases in retail, hospitality and services — from paperless compliance to dynamic marketing.
Read postFrom France's Anti-Waste-Law to Germany's receipt-issuance obligation under KassenSichV, embedding a digital receipt solution now means your POS is ahead of the regulation curve.

Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, and Mastercard automatic delivery are pre-integrated — no separate partnership agreements needed on your side.
Customers receive their receipt by scanning a QR code at checkout. No email address, phone number, or personal data required.
fiskaly tracks regulatory changes across all active markets and keeps your integration current. No code changes needed on your end when legislations evolve.
Merchants can configure branding, receipt content, and promotions themselves through an intuitive no-code interface — without involving your development team.
fiskaly RECEIPT runs on ISO 27001 certified cloud infrastructure and is GDPR-compliant at the architecture level, not as an afterthought.
Connect to the REST API, pass transaction data at checkout, and ship digital receipts as a built-in product feature — without a multi-month build.

Integrate the API Connect fiskaly RECEIPT via our RESTful API. Comprehensive docs, code samples in multiple languages, and a free sandbox are available from day one — no contract needed to start testing.
Set up once Configure default branding, delivery preferences, and receipt sections via the Merchant Dashboard. After go-live, your merchants manage their own receipt experience — no ongoing engineering involvement.
We handle the rest fiskaly manages wallet integrations, regulatory updates, and third-party partnerships. When receipt legislation changes, your integration stays compliant automatically.
Dynamic QR code: Customer scans at checkout. No personal data required. Works on any device instantly — ideal for retail, hospitality, and mobile transactions.
Static link: A permanent receipt URL — shareable via email, SMS, or alongside a printed QR code. Flexible for any checkout flow or post-transaction communication.
Apple Wallet & Google Wallet: Receipts land directly in the customer's wallet app. Stored securely alongside their cards. No additional app download required from the merchant side.
Mastercard automatic delivery: Through fiskaly's partnership with Mastercard, receipts issued after a Mastercard payment are automatically delivered to every application where the plugin is active — zero friction for the customer, no QR scan required.
The fiskaly Merchant Dashboard gives merchants full control over their receipts — no developer involvement needed after your initial integration. Receipt changes, promotions, and branding updates happen without touching your codebase.
fiskaly RECEIPT is built for the real POS environments your merchants operate in, not just standard retail checkouts:
Retail & omni-channel Turn every receipt into a marketing channel. Custom sections enable upsell offers, loyalty enrollment, and product recommendations — even for anonymous in-store customers.
Restaurants & hospitality Issue receipts at the table via tablet or handheld — no portable printer. QR delivery is instant. Reduces hardware costs and speeds up table turnover.
Mobility & on-the-go Taxis, delivery, and field sales issue compliant receipts from a phone — no printer, no paper roll. Especially valuable where digital receipts cover the receipt-issuance obligation.
Multi-location & franchises Centralized receipt configuration across all locations from one dashboard. Individual stores customize within brand guidelines — no on-site technical visits for template changes.
E-commerce & click & collect Deliver digital receipts at the point of fulfillment for a consistent receipt experience across all channels with one integration.
Branding & styling Custom logos, brand colors, receipt labels. Each merchant sets their own look independently.
Custom sections & promotions Add text, images, QR codes, and barcodes to receipts. Promote sales or loyalty programs directly — even on already-issued receipts.
Analytics Issued receipts, scan rates, transaction types, and popular items. Real data that merchants can act on.




Yes. fiskaly RECEIPT is fully compliant, e.g. with the German KassenSichV receipt-issuance obligation (Belegausgabepflicht) and the Austrian RKSV. A digital receipt delivered via QR code or wallet app satisfies the legal requirement — the customer actively receives the receipt artifact, not merely an image of one. fiskaly handles all compliance updates automatically as legislation evolves.
fiskaly monitors regulatory developments across all markets and handles compliance updates automatically. Your integration does not require code changes when legislation evolves. This is the same approach fiskaly uses for fiscalization compliance, maintaining uninterrupted compliance for 1,900+ customers across European markets since 2019.
Yes. If you already use fiskaly SIGN for fiscalization, adding RECEIPT uses the same API ecosystem, the same credentials, and the same support channel. Many customers integrate both to offer a complete paper-free checkout. The digital receipt can carry the fiscalization QR code required by KassenSichV and RKSV.
No. Receipts can be delivered anonymously via QR code; the customer scans at checkout with no personal data required. Personal data collection via loyalty apps or email delivery is optional and can add value, but it is never a prerequisite for issuing a legally compliant digital receipt.
No. QR code delivery adds no meaningful checkout time — the code is displayed on screen and the customer scans at their own pace after payment. Wallet delivery and Mastercard automatic delivery happen entirely in the background with zero checkout friction. In hospitality and taxi environments, QR delivery via tablet is typically faster than printing a paper receipt.
No engineering involvement needed. Merchants use the self-serve dashboard to configure logos, brand colors, custom receipt sections (text, images, QR codes, barcodes), promotional banners, and feedback links. Changes apply to all future receipts automatically, and certain sections can be updated retroactively on already-issued receipts.
