Quick Start

Who this guide is for

This guide is for first-time Stareceipt users — individuals tracking personal expenses or small-team admins setting up a shared ledger.

Step 1 — Create an account

1. Visit app.stareceipt.com and click Sign Up.
2. Follow the Stareceipt auth flow to enter your email address and request a verification code.
3. Enter the verification code, choose a password, and complete sign-in.
4. Continue in the Web App or download the mobile app and sign in with the same account.

Step 2 — Create a ledger

1. Click New Ledger in the left sidebar.
2. Give your ledger a name (e.g. Household expenses or Business travel).
3. Choose the initial ledger / organisation settings your current client exposes, such as country or default currency where applicable.
4. Click Create — your ledger is ready immediately.

Step 3 — Upload your first receipt

1. Open the Capture page.
2. Take a photo with your phone or upload an image from your computer.
3. Stareceipt will extract the amount, merchant, date, and category automatically.
4. Review the recognised fields and correct anything that looks off.
5. Confirm the result. Depending on the extracted data quality, the receipt may be saved directly as a normal receipt or placed into the Needs Review flow for confirmation.

Step 4 — Review your spending

1. Open Analytics from the navigation bar.
2. Browse the category breakdown for the current week or month.
3. Use the date range and category filters to drill into specific spending.
4. Export to CSV if you need to share figures with an accountant or spreadsheet.

Tips for best results

• Photograph receipts flat-on — avoid angles, glare, and shadows.
• Crop out irrelevant backgrounds so the AI focuses on the text.
• After recognition, always verify the total amount and date before saving.
• If you receive digital receipts by email, set up a verified receiving email in the app and forward those emails to upload@stareceipt.com.
• For team use, configure member roles before sharing the ledger link.
