Import receipts from Gmail

Turn Gmail purchase emails into receipts with Receiptly on iPhone and iPad. Read-only access, on-device processing, and you choose what to save.

Download on the App Store
Receiptly Gmail integration on iPhone with Sign in with Google

How it works

  1. Open Integrations

    In Receiptly, open More, then Integrations, then Gmail.

  2. Sign in with Google

    Google asks for permission to read your email. Receiptly only looks for purchases and never changes your emails.

  3. Browse purchases

    Receiptly lists purchase emails from the last seven days. Scroll or load more to see older ones.

  4. Review and save

    Check the merchant, date, amount, and line items, then save it as a receipt. You can also use a PDF or image attachment.

Why import receipts from email

Online orders, subscriptions, and delivery apps send receipts by email instead of paper. Gmail import brings those purchases into the same library as the receipts you scan, so your reports, exports, and warranty records cover everything you buy.

What stays private

  • Email text and attachments are processed on your iPhone or iPad. Gmail content is not sent to cloud AI services, even when Smart Scan is on for other receipts.
  • Receiptly connects directly to Google. There is no Receiptly server that stores or reads your mailbox.
  • Emails are held in memory only while you browse. The original email and attachment are not saved with the receipt.
  • The receipt details you save, plus a marker that recognizes emails you already imported, become part of your library and can sync with iCloud.

Common questions

How does Gmail receipt import work?

On iPhone and iPad, open More, then Integrations, then Gmail, and sign in with Google. Browse recent purchase emails, choose the ones you want, and review the details before saving each one as a receipt. Email text and attachments are processed temporarily on your device. The receipt fields you save and a marker for previously imported emails enter your library and can sync with iCloud. Gmail import is included with Receiptly Pro and is not available on Android.

Can Receiptly change or delete my emails?

No. Receiptly asks Google for read-only access. It looks for purchases and never sends, changes, or deletes your emails. Google’s permission screen describes this as access to read your email, because Google does not offer a permission limited to purchase emails.

How do I disconnect Gmail?

Open More, then Integrations, then Gmail, and tap Disconnect. Receiptly revokes its Google access and removes the saved sign-in. Receipts you already saved stay in your library. You can also remove access from your Google Account connections.
