We receive a lot of receipts on a daily basis. Whether we're buying groceries, clothes, or just grabbing a coffee, most retailers will print out a long slip of paper detailing our purchase – and they can really add up over time!

While some people might not mind having physical proof of their spending habits (or being able to return items without any fuss), many of us would prefer to go paperless whenever possible.

Thankfully, it looks like Kmart is taking steps in the right direction when it comes to cutting down on waste.

The retail giant is making the switch to 'digital smart receipts' that make use of an innovative technology platform called Slyp.

If you’re not familiar with the term, a 'smart' receipt is a fully itemised record of your checkout transaction that is sent to your mobile banking app instead of a paper receipt that most customers never bother to save.

It should be noted that traditional paper receipts are not recyclable due to the type of ink used. So this move is good for the environment!

Customers who use the 'smart receipts' will receive a fully itemised and tax-compliant record of their purchase automatically in their mobile banking app, which is even more convenient because it saves you the hassle of keeping track of your paper receipts!

And if you think paper receipts are going away, think again – Kmart is offering 'smart' receipts as well, except they’re only currently available for NAB customers.

The change simplifies the shopping experience for customers by making it faster and easier to return products. It also helps businesses operate in a more environmentally responsible manner.

Kmart's Chief Customer Officer, Lil Velis-Bowker, expressed her delight at the news, stating that it will 'improve and enhance customers' shopping experiences' both in-store and online.

Ms Velis-Bowker said: 'By switching to digital smart receipts we are able to give our customers a more seamless shopping experience, by taking away the stress of needing to keep hold of a physical printed receipt.'

'This allows our customers to process returns more easily, but also gives them a great opportunity to have a history of their Kmart purchases easily at hand in their banking app.'

'By using digital smart receipts we will also be able to reduce our future reliance on printed receipts, which is important to us as we continue to work through ways we can reduce our environmental impact.'

Kmart is the latest business to adopt Slyp, a game-changing technology developed after four years of hard effort.

Paul Weingarth, CEO and Co-Founder of 'smart receipts', recounted how Slyp came to be following a shopping spree that concluded with him hauling about a ream of paper.

He shared: 'I realised the need for something like Slyp in 2016 after I purchased a chainsaw and received a 50cm long receipt at my local hardware store.'

'The cashier asked me to take a photo of the receipt because it was going to fade over time — it just made no sense to me.'

'We had many iterations of what eventually became the Slyp Smart Receipt and built it in close consultation with retailers, banks and customers to make sure it was as easy, convenient and seamless as possible.'

Paul stated that since Slyp's launching in 2020, it has taken the industry by storm and has become a 'growing network' in no time thanks to the endorsement of all four major Australian banks.

'We are now live with hundreds of brands across more than 1800 locations around Australia,' he added.

'We’re bringing more merchants on every day and we’re working with all of Australia’s biggest banks to bring Smart Receipts to their banking app in the near future.'

Slyp's ultimate goal, according to Paul, is to 'divert as many paper receipts from landfill as possible and eventually move to eradicate them altogether'.

He remarked: 'Paper receipts are too often discarded at the bottom of handbags, abandoned in shopping trolleys or left littering our streets.'

'From here, they end up in landfill or waterways because – contrary to popular belief – paper receipts are not recyclable.'

'They are produced using significant natural resources in the form of trees, water and oil, and are coated in BPA/BPS chemicals, rendering them unrecyclable and extremely unsustainable.'

JB HI FI have had digital receipts for a while. I’d don’t use my phone to pay for purchases. So how will the Kmart digital receipts work for me? JB HI FI send them through via your email or phone number not via your banking app. Great idea but not thought out enough for us oldies

Yesterday I spent a long time helping an elderly lady to apply for and fill out forms connected wiht her travelling to the USA to visit her daughter and family. This lady does not have a computer nor printer and does not drive any more. Her phone is only for making calls and she has no 'apps'. I asked some other seniors later whether this demand for almost everything to be done online affected them and the answer in most cases was YES! What will happen for these people and others maybe new to the country who do not have online connections or access? The changing to self -serve checkouts at Supermarkets is another big problem and inconvenience to seniors. Will KMart exclude them from shopping because they don't do online banking?

Like the idea, but at the 2 Kmarts I shop at in south Melbourne require you to show your receipt before leaving the store, maybe outing check outs nearer the exits would be great.

 

[Tiaura]

Sorry, but this news is a big NO for me. It’s just not good enough for those of us who NEED paper receipts. I operate a (very) small business and often shop at Lmart for my supplies. For me, I need to file a paper receipt for tax purposes. And please don’t expound the ‘joys’ of digitalisation filing for this purpose. I don’t use it as I just can’t quickly find what I’m looking for. Believe me, I’ve tried digitalisation. for other areas of my business. It just doesn’t work. Another thing … how are people who do not use online banking expects to manage?!

'By using digital smart receipts we will also be able to reduce our future reliance on printed receipts, which is important to us as we continue to work through ways we can reduce our environmental impact.'

Kmart is the latest business to adopt Slyp, a game-changing technology developed after four years of hard effort.

Paul Weingarth, CEO and Co-Founder of 'smart receipts', recounted how Slyp came to be following a shopping spree that concluded with him hauling about a ream of paper.

He shared: 'I realised the need for something like Slyp in 2016 after I purchased a chainsaw and received a 50cm long receipt at my local hardware store.'

'The cashier asked me to take a photo of the receipt because it was going to fade over time — it just made no sense to me.'

'We had many iterations of what eventually became the Slyp Smart Receipt and built it in close consultation with retailers, banks and customers to make sure it was as easy, convenient and seamless as possible.'

Paul stated that since Slyp's launching in 2020, it has taken the industry by storm and has become a 'growing network' in no time thanks to the endorsement of all four major Australian banks.

'We are now live with hundreds of brands across more than 1800 locations around Australia,' he added.

'We’re bringing more merchants on every day and we’re working with all of Australia’s biggest banks to bring Smart Receipts to their banking app in the near future.'

Slyp's ultimate goal, according to Paul, is to 'divert as many paper receipts from landfill as possible and eventually move to eradicate them altogether'.

He remarked: 'Paper receipts are too often discarded at the bottom of handbags, abandoned in shopping trolleys or left littering our streets.'

'From here, they end up in landfill or waterways because – contrary to popular belief – paper receipts are not recyclable.'

'They are produced using significant natural resources in the form of trees, water and oil, and are coated in BPA/BPS chemicals, rendering them unrecyclable and extremely unsustainable.'

What is the BANKING APP and where can it be found? What is the name of the APP? There are so many on the GOOGLE PLAY STORE?

JB HI FI have had digital receipts for a while. I’d don’t use my phone to pay for purchases. So how will the Kmart digital receipts work for me? JB HI FI send them through via your email or phone number not via your banking app. Great idea but not thought out enough for us oldies

Totally agree, I don't use phone banking and never will. JB HI FI have done this for while now and it works.

 

[elaine41]

It's a big NO for me. I do not do phone/internet banking for a number of reasons but the big one being the risk of my bank a/c being hacked & losing the little I have from my pension. I have digital receipts from JB HiFi being sent as email but don't want this from KMart & similar stores where I shop for smaller items. I don't want them to have my email address so that they can bombard me with useless emails.
As for receipts not being able to be recycled - mine get recycled as the paper I need to start my fire in winter. I keep them in a plastic bag (which I probably won't be able to replace soon) close to the fire place ready for when winter arrives.

 

[Ricci]

There is no way I'm going to put my banking details on my phone just so that I can shop in these stores. I definitely subscribe to the side that keeps my personal information just that, personal, I'm not going to risk getting hacked and losing all my money just because I shopped in Kmart.

Why can't Kmart just send the receipts to the Flybuys App like Woolies do to the Rewards App?

We receive a lot of receipts on a daily basis. Whether we're buying groceries, clothes, or just grabbing a coffee, most retailers will print out a long slip of paper detailing our purchase – and they can really add up over time!

While some people might not mind having physical proof of their spending habits (or being able to return items without any fuss), many of us would prefer to go paperless whenever possible.

Thankfully, it looks like Kmart is taking steps in the right direction when it comes to cutting down on waste.

The retail giant is making the switch to 'digital smart receipts' that make use of an innovative technology platform called Slyp.

If you’re not familiar with the term, a 'smart' receipt is a fully itemised record of your checkout transaction that is sent to your mobile banking app instead of a paper receipt that most customers never bother to save.

It should be noted that traditional paper receipts are not recyclable due to the type of ink used. So this move is good for the environment!

Customers who use the 'smart receipts' will receive a fully itemised and tax-compliant record of their purchase automatically in their mobile banking app, which is even more convenient because it saves you the hassle of keeping track of your paper receipts!

And if you think paper receipts are going away, think again – Kmart is offering 'smart' receipts as well, except they’re only currently available for NAB customers.

The change simplifies the shopping experience for customers by making it faster and easier to return products. It also helps businesses operate in a more environmentally responsible manner.

Kmart's Chief Customer Officer, Lil Velis-Bowker, expressed her delight at the news, stating that it will 'improve and enhance customers' shopping experiences' both in-store and online.

Ms Velis-Bowker said: 'By switching to digital smart receipts we are able to give our customers a more seamless shopping experience, by taking away the stress of needing to keep hold of a physical printed receipt.'

Why don't they store your receipt in your Flybuys card when you swipe your card like Woolworths do with their Rewards card. When you go into your Rewards Ap you not only see where you have scored your points but also a copy of your receipt. They would probably capture more people than using a banking ap. I will never use my phone to pay for anything, way too easy for thieves to access your money if your phone gets stolen.

What banking app...? I have gone to a lot of trouble to get rid of apps which enable my details to be hacked....and my emails are clogged with rubbish, which some algorithm "thinks" might con me into buying what I neither want, nor need. Pity, as occasionally Kmart does have something which I cannot get elsewhere....so will they refuse to sell to me? This will be interestinģ, as a person over 70,I only want technology which is appropriate!

So what about all the oldies who don't have smartphones or, like us, detest using apps on ours and will certainly never link our bank account to one. I hate the way these supermarkets are pushing their automation on us whether we want it or not. Woollies self-checkout is another (hated) example.

 

[Jennylolo]

JB HI FI have had digital receipts for a while. I’d don’t use my phone to pay for purchases. So how will the Kmart digital receipts work for me? JB HI FI send them through via your email or phone number not via your banking app. Great idea but not thought out enough for us oldies

exactly. I don't have banking or emails on my phone. It won't help me with returns that do happen, nor with proof of purchase as a result of digital.
I also have friends who don't have a mobile phone and I'm not just talking seniors.
If they scrap paper receipts that ends shopping with them. No-one has the right to make that choice for us.

 

[Jennylolo]

I don't have phone banking nor do I use my phone to purchase goods so how are they going to prove my purchase and how am I going to reconcile my purchases when my monthly statement comes in, K mart need to keep paper receipts for dinosaurs like me.

not just us dinosaurs. I have friends in the their 30s and 40s who don't even own a phone.

not only oldies. I don't use self checkouts anywhere.
