1receipt is an Australian digital receipt platform owned by Quad Core Pty. Ltd. The service provides hardware and software for retailers to issue digital receipts, allowing shoppers to store their shopping receipts without receiving a physical paper receipt or disclosing personal information such as email address or phone number at the point of sale.[1]

History and development

The platform was developed by computer science graduate Shahryar Faraji from RMIT University[2] and founded it on 22 December 2019 in Doncaster East, Victoria.[3] Faraji stated that the concept originated from concerns regarding the environmental impact of paper thermal receipts and the data privacy risks associated with digital alternatives that require personal information.

Following its establishment, the company conducted a public trial in 2020 at an IGA supermarket in South Melbourne.[4] Early media coverage by Ausbiz[5] and iTWire[6] noted the platform's focus on sustainability, highlighting its method of eliminating paper waste without disrupting retail checkout workflows.

The platform expanded its retail presence in 2024 through an integration with Coles Supermarkets. RetailBiz[7] reported that this partnership enabled shoppers to aggregate receipts by linking their Flybuys accounts directly to the 1receipt application.

In 2025, the company introduced a feature called "rShield" alongside an integration with Officeworks. This update was described by industry media as a privacy-focused tool that masks shopper identity during transactions by generating random email addresses, thereby preventing retailers from tracking shopper data or sending unsolicited marketing.[8]

Functionality

The 1receipt system integrates proprietary barcode scanner hardware called "Pyramid" with a mobile application that aggregates digital receipts for expense tracking and searching.[9]

To facilitate data transfer without exchanging contact details, Docklands News described the scanner as a device that reads a unique barcode identifier from the shopper's phone to instantly transfer the digital receipt. This process avoids the need for shoppers to verbally dictate their personal email address or phone number to cashier staff.[4] The platform also includes a dashboard for retailers to view personalised transaction analytics.

Reception

The platform has been noted in Australian media for addressing privacy concerns in the retail sector. A 2024 report by 9News cited 1receipt's hardware approach as a counter-measure to the growing trend of retailers mandating personal data collection for electronic receipts.[1]

The City of Melbourne recognised the company as a finalist in the "Melbourne Awards" (Sustainability category) in 2021[10] and 2023.[11]
