From shoebox to sorted.
This is the actual product. Every screen below is what you get after you send one photo.
Step 01AI extraction
Every figure, pulled from the photo.
Send a slip and within seconds it comes back as clean data: merchant, date, total, 15% VAT, currency and category. Each field shows a confidence score, and the original photo stays attached.
- VAT split out. The 15% line is separated from the total, ready for your SARS return.
- Line items captured. A grocery run with twelve lines comes back line by line, not as one lump.
- One tap to your books. Push a slip straight to Xero or QuickBooks with the photo attached.
Step 02Auto-categorisation
It files itself, and learns from you.
Every slip lands in the right category on its own. Snap-a-Slip ships with a full set of South African categories, and when you correct one, it remembers for next time.
- Built for SA. Groceries, fuel, banking fees, medical and more, with vendor hints baked in.
- Make it yours. Rename, recolour, or add categories like "Client entertainment" in seconds.
- Learns on correction. Move one receipt and the next from that vendor goes to the right place.
Step 03Monthly summary
Your whole month, at a glance.
Total spend, receipt count, spend by month and spend by category, all updating as your slips come in. No spreadsheet to build, no month-end scramble.
- Spend by category. See where the money actually goes, broken down and totalled.
- Always current. The dashboard updates the moment a new slip is processed.
- Open WhatsApp anytime. Jump back to the chat or upload a receipt straight from the dashboard.
Step 04Export anywhere
Hand it to your accountant, any way they want.
Push slips live to Xero or QuickBooks, download a CSV or a formatted PDF report, or grab a CSV shaped for Sage. Need the originals? Pull a ZIP of every receipt photo for the period.
- Live Xero and QuickBooks. Slips arrive in Xero or QuickBooks with the source photo attached, ready for review.
- CSV and PDF for everyone. Open in Excel or Google Sheets, or send the PDF straight to your bookkeeper.
- Sage CSV. Export a CSV formatted to import cleanly into Sage.
Step 06Departments and groups
Split a business into groups.
On Business, organise a workspace's receipts into groups, like departments, branches, sites or projects, each with its own spend total. Done with one for the season? Archive it and it drops out of the WhatsApp picker while keeping every receipt and export.
- Spend per group. Each group shows its own receipt count and total spend at a glance.
- Departments or cost centres. Group by branch, site, team or project, whatever matches how you report.
- Archive, don't delete. Archiving hides a group from the WhatsApp picker but keeps its receipts and exports intact.
Step 05Teams and accountants
Add your team or your bookkeeper.
Invite people by WhatsApp number and everyone snaps into the same workspace. Owners see team activity and spend per member. Your accountant gets their own login and your receipts in real time.
- Invite by number. Send an invite to a teammate's WhatsApp number and they're in.
- See who spent what. Team activity shows receipts and totals per member.
- Bookkeeper access. Give your accountant a login to the same extracted slips, live.
- Groups for departments. Organise a Business workspace's receipts into groups, like departments, sites or projects.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Snap-a-Slip lives entirely on WhatsApp. Save the number, send a slip, done. The dashboard is a website you only open when you want to review or export.
Will SARS accept a photo of my slip?
Yes. SARS accepts photographed receipts as long as they are clear, complete and legible at audit. A clean photo is often more readable than the original thermal slip, which fades over time.
Does it calculate VAT?
Yes, automatically. The 15% VAT breakdown is pulled out separately from the total on every extracted slip, which makes month-end and year-end VAT submission straightforward.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
Click into the field on the dashboard and edit it. A confidence score is shown next to every extracted field, so you know which ones to double-check first.
What does it cost?
Free for your first 15 receipts a month, which resets monthly. Pro is R99/month for unlimited receipts and all exports. Business is R399/month for up to 10 users.
