Comment on Why are CVS receipts so long? (2018)parent

Comments

Home Depot does this with their card readers. I entered my email address once to send an emailed receipt, and forever after, if I use that same card, it will just send me an email with my receipt.

Note: this is not even a Home Depot card, it's just my everyday Visa card.

I've also seen this with anybody that uses Square - it can be a little surprising because I'll check my email and see a receipt for a random food truck that I got a hotdog from or things of that nature.

That's not the card processor receiving receipt data. It's the POS vendor doing their own thing.

But, similar outcome in terms of reducing paper.
