WhatsApp Receipt Extractor

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How does the WhatsApp receipt extractor work?

Send a photo of any receipt to our WhatsApp bot. The bot extracts key details like supplier name, date, amount, and line items using OCR and AI. Results are logged to Google Sheets automatically and can be exported to your accounting software with one click.

Which accounting software can I integrate with?

Currently, we support Tally, QuickBooks, and manual Google Sheets export. We're adding Zoho Books and Wave support in the next release. Need a different system? Contact us.

How do I set up WhatsApp bot access?

Sign up for an account, and we'll send you a WhatsApp number to save to your phone. You can start sending receipts immediately. Invite team members to the same number to share the bot across your firm.

Accuracy and Performance

How accurate is the OCR extraction?

Our OCR captures 95 percent or higher of key fields on clear receipts. For damaged or handwritten receipts, accuracy may be lower. You can always correct and confirm entries before exporting to your accounting software.

What receipt formats do you support?

We handle printed receipts, invoices, bills, and purchase orders. Thermal, laser-printed, and color copies all work. Blurry or low-resolution photos may require manual correction.

How fast are results returned?

Most receipts are processed in 10 to 30 seconds. You'll get a WhatsApp message confirming the extraction with a link to review and edit before export.

Security and Privacy

Is my receipt data secure?

Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't store receipt images after processing. Extracted data lives in your Google Sheets or accounting software of choice, never on our servers longer than needed for the extraction.

Who can see my receipts?

Only people you invite to share the WhatsApp bot. You control access fully. Team members can only see receipts they process or you explicitly share with them.

Is there a compliance or audit trail?

All extractions are logged with timestamps and user information. Export reports include who submitted each receipt for full audit readiness and compliance purposes.

Pricing and Limits

What's the pricing?

We offer a free tier (20 receipts per month) and paid plans starting at $29 per month (500 receipts). Enterprise plans available for teams with 10 or more members. See our Pricing page for full details.

Can I try it free?

Absolutely. Start with the free tier (20 receipts per month, no credit card required). Upgrade anytime if you need more capacity or features.

What happens if I exceed my receipt limit?

We'll notify you when you're at 80 percent of your monthly limit. You can upgrade instantly to continue processing. Unused receipts reset at the start of each billing month.

Do I need to buy licenses for each team member?

No. One account covers your whole team. Add as many members as you need to the shared WhatsApp bot without additional per-seat fees.

Support and Troubleshooting

What if the bot misreads a receipt?

Simply reply with corrections and the bot learns for future receipts. You can also edit entries in Google Sheets before exporting to your accounting software for full control.

How do I contact support?

Email us at support@whatsappreceiptextractor.com or message the WhatsApp bot directly. We respond within 2 hours during business hours, and 24 hours on weekends.

Is there a mobile app or web interface?

The WhatsApp bot is the main interface and works on any phone with WhatsApp. A web dashboard for managing receipts and team settings is coming soon. Subscribe to updates on your account page.

What if WhatsApp is down or I lose connection?

You can still access the web dashboard to view and manage all extracted receipts. Messages queue and sync when your connection returns. No data is lost.
