Expensify’s receipt integrations allow merchants to automatically send receipts directly to a member’s Expensify account. When a merchant emails a receipt to a member and Cc’s receipts@expensify.com, Expensify creates a transaction in the account of the email recipient.

You can integrate receipts using Expensify’s pre-built integrations or by setting up a custom receipt integration.

Using the Integration

When emailing a receipt:

• Attach the receipt as the only attachment (unless it’s an .ics file).
• Include only one email address in the To field.
• Cc only receipts@expensify.com.
• Hotel and car rental reservations cannot be sent as expenses because payment occurs at checkout.
• Use standardized currency codes (ISO 4217) where applicable.

FAQ

Why don’t I see the “Send to Expensify” option in Trainline?

This may occur if the native iOS Mail app is not installed. You can still use the Share to Expensify function in iOS for Trainline receipts.

Why does it take two weeks to set up a custom integration?

Receipt integrations require manual setup by Expensify engineers, which takes up to two weeks.

Can I connect via API instead of email?

No, Expensify does not currently offer API-based receipt integrations. All integrations must be set up via email.

What is Expensify’s Open API used for?

Expensify’s Open API is designed for exporting data to external accounting systems. Receipt imports must be done via email integration.

Can Expensify split one email into multiple receipts?

No, but after SmartScan processes the receipt, you can split the expense manually.

Can we set up a co-marketing partnership with Expensify?

No, Expensify does not offer co-marketing partnerships at this time.

Can we promote our custom Expensify integration?

Yes! You can promote your integration on your website and social media (tag @Expensify and use the #Expensify hashtag). Consider adding:

• A brief overview of how the integration works.
• Key benefits of using it.
• A setup guide.
• Contact details for integration support.
