Keep the Receipt and the Return Date Together

A receipt in Photos and a return deadline in your memory are easy to separate. This walkthrough puts the document, product details and dates in one purchase record. It uses StoreProof, a Stargap app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Use one receipt photo or PDF, the retailer's return terms and a serial-number photo if relevant. The example shown is labelled DEMO DATA, not a real customer purchase.

Add the product name, store and purchase date. Use a name you would actually search for later, such as the model name rather than just "headphones".

Add the receipt file to that record. Open it again and check that the date and item are readable. Add the serial-number photo if you have one.

Enter the return deadline from that retailer's terms and the warranty information that applies to the purchase. Don't assume every shop uses the same window. Set a reminder if you need one.

Leave the record, search for the product, and reopen the receipt and dates. This is the useful final check: can you find everything without hunting through Photos and email?

A folder and calendar can do this too. StoreProof keeps the files and dates attached to the same item: https://storeproof.one/iod
