Embodiment Construction

[0018] Receipts and other kinds of transaction records are traditionally issued in paper form. With the advent of electronic commerce, many receipts for online transactions have been issued in electronic form.

Abstract

A receipt store may be provided as a service. Electronic payment receipts generated in any type of transaction may be delivered to the receipt store. A customer may subscribe to a particular receipt store, to be used as a repository for that customer's receipts. The customer may carry a device that is used to communicate payment information (such as a credit card number) to a device reader when purchases are made. The device may also identify the customer's receipt store. A commercial establishment that accepts the customer's payment may generate an electronic receipt, and may deliver it to the receipt store specified by the customer's device. The establishment may also deliver the receipt to the customer's device, and the customer's device may send the receipt along to the receipt store.
