If you take receipt photos directly through the cash register book, they will only be displayed as a preview in the cash register book and cannot be exported. To add receipt photos later to your CSV export, we recommend taking the receipt photos separately.

In a nutshell

  • To add receipt photos in the cash register book, first take a photo of the receipt with your iPad’s camera and save it in the Photo Library.
  • Then, select "Cash Income" or "Cash Expense" in the cash register book, enter the required details, and add the receipt photo by selecting "Choose from Album".
  • If you need to take a new photo, you can switch to the Camera App at any time and later select the image from the library.

Let’s Get Started

  1. Open your cash register book in orderbird PRO.
  2. Tap on “Cash Income” or “Cash expense”.
  3. Enter all the required information, such as type, amount, and tax rate correctly.
  4. Tap on "Add Receipt".
  5. Tap on "Choose from Album" to add a receipt photo from the Photo Library. 
  6. No receipt photo on hand? Here’s how to take a new photo:
    1. Press the iPad’s Home button to return to the home screen.
    2. Open the Camera App and take a photo of the receipt.
    3. Press the Home button to return, then reopen the orderbird PRO app.
    4. Now select "Choose from Album" and add the photo you just took.
    5. Finally, tap "Done".
  7. Done! Your receipt photo is now saved in the cash register book.

Any Questions?

Is there anything I should consider when adding a receipt for the first time?

Yes, because you’ll need to make a few selections.

  1. The first time you tap on "Add Receipt", you’ll see the following: 
  2. Now choose between "Full Access" or "Limit Access" if you want to limit the available selections from your Photo Library.
  3. If you want the receipt photos to be directly integrated into the cash register book without appearing in the Photo Library (but also without being exportable), select "Allow" in this window: 

    Spoiler: We recommend using the Photo Library.
  4. The rest is as described above :).
