Five years ago, we launched our purchase receipt validation system using OCR technology, enabling automatic recognition and validation of receipt data uploaded by users in a promotion.

Today, we take it a step further with AI-Powered Automatic Purchase Receipt Validation.

This new system marks a significant evolution, replacing the OCR-based system we have used until now. With more advanced technology, greater accuracy, and enhanced security, this solution takes receipt validation campaigns to the next level.

How AI-Powered Automatic Receipt Validation Works

The new system combines Artificial Intelligence and OCR technology to recognize text in receipt images. This combination not only ensures that users upload a valid receipt to participate but also allows administrators to apply advanced validation rules based on the products listed on the receipt.

Key Features of AI-Powered Receipt Validation

The new system increases flexibility and offers a broad range of configuration options to suit each campaign’s needs.

The main features include:

1. Structured Data Extraction from Receipts

For every uploaded receipt, the system extracts structured and organized data. This information is accessible via API and Webhooks, and can also be downloaded as a .CSV file.

2. Custom Validation Rules by Product Line

By combining OCR and AI, the system can identify specific products, minimum quantities, or required spending on a receipt. Based on this information, administrators can define custom validation rules, such as:

• Quantity-based validation: A receipt is valid if it includes a minimum number of units of a specific product.
• Amount-based validation: A receipt is accepted if the user has spent a minimum amount on products from a specific brand.

3. Enhanced Security & Fraud Prevention

The system includes advanced security measures to prevent tampering or reusing receipts:

• Unique receipt identification prevents the same receipt from being uploaded more than once.
• Duplicate submission detection, blocking repeated use of the same image.
• Detection of altered receipts, reinforcing security in every validation.

4. Seamless Integration with Prizes & Rewards

The AI-powered receipt validation system fully integrates with Easypromos’ prize system. Thanks to precise data structuring, the system automates prize management based on receipt information. Examples include:

• Final Prize Draw: Granting extra entries based on the total amount spent.
• Instant Win (Prize Wheel, Scratch & Win): Assigning additional spins or plays based on the purchase amount.
• And much more!

How to Access the AI-Powered Receipt Validation System

To implement this new system, we’ve created a new participation requirement, available exclusively in promotions using the White Label version: the "Purchase Receipts (Automatic Validation)" requirement.

This gives administrators two different receipt upload options:

• Purchase Receipts (Manual Validation): Allows users to upload a receipt to participate. Administrators can manually review receipts and use pre-moderation tools before approving them.
• Purchase Receipts (AI-Powered Automatic Validation): Uses AI to analyze the receipt and verify that it meets the required conditions, such as a minimum purchase amount or store of purchase.
