Digital Receipts Association

We fly to Mars, but we print receipts on paper


Society is digitiziting at all levels. We own and control:

  • household devices connected via the internet (e.g. internet of things),

  • artificial intelligence (e.g. Midjourney, ChatGPT),

  • virtual reality (e.g. Metaverse).

But we still print paper receipts that:

  • cost forests, time, money.

  • their print colors are toxic,

  • fade and become unnecessary for the user,

  • are confusing, impractical,

  • unlike online stores, it does not create a solid and long-term relationship: customer - seller.




Why don't we have digital receipts yet?


  • Digitalization takes place in a fragmented manner (both content and process) depending on the seller / service provider / carrier etc.,

  • The information chain is missing (purchase / payment / logistics / use / warranty / service / loyalty programs),

  • The ability of different systems to cooperate with each other is missing (input information for PFM / domestic accounting),

    At the same time, technology and user literacy at the necessary level have long existed. 



Digital Receipts Association creates a platform of cooperation between: 

  • manufacturers,  

  • merchants/service providers,

  • customers, respectively users, 

  • providers of payment and logistics solutions,

  • infrastructural, or user IT elements (e.g. cash register and accounting systems, payment terminals, electronic banking, identifiers),

  • public administration bodies,

  • identity service providers,

  • important professional institutions and associations.



Digital Receipts Association becomes the engine of change


We call for standardization that:

  • aligns the interests of the parties involved,

  • utilizes and adapts business and user practices,

  • will use technical and legal standards, 

  • sets the same rules for everyone. 


That is why we established Digital Receipts Association that

  • balances the interests of the parties involved,

  • will bring process and technical standards,

  • finds a functional and scalable open solution,

  • stimulates the creation of specific use-cases and pilots,

  • deserves general acceptance and legal anchoring,

  • will educate

  • it sets a long-term horizon and trust.

Join us! 

Digital Receipts Association will become your digitalization engine.


Digital receipt standard

Let's create a new standard together

We will establish a working group composed of experts and representatives of the association's members, which will jointly create a proposal for a digital receipt standard. Subsequently, he will initiate the change of the necessary legislation so that the consumer's right to a digital receipt is created.  

DRA association intention
