Build a transaction from a receipt

Add the items from a receipt one by one and let DuoCents add up the total.

Updated 2026-10-07

Receipt mode lets you enter what you bought line by line, instead of typing one total. The amount is calculated from your items, so there is nothing to add up by hand.

Where to find it

Open the new transaction form (see "Add a transaction"), then scroll down to the switch called Add items.

Steps

  1. In the new transaction form, scroll down and switch on Add items.

  1. Tap Add item, then type the Item name and its Amount.
