From March 1, 2026, the Manual receipt validation requirement will no longer be available in Easypromos.

From that date, receipt validation will only be carried out via AI-powered automatic validation, a more robust solution for detecting fraud and duplicates.

What changes?

Currently, in the participation stages of a promotion, there are two requirements with the same goal: validating purchase receipts.

• Manual receipt validation (current method being deprecated).
• AI-powered automatic validation (recommended and future method).

Starting from March 1, 2026, only AI-powered automatic validation will be available.

AI-powered automatic validation also includes a manual receipt review system.

Why is manual validation being removed?

The manual validation utilizes traditional OCR-based receipt reading technology, which has limited fraud detection.

In high-volume campaigns with instant prizes, this approach can have problems effectively detecting:

• Duplicate or reused receipts.
• Very similar images of the same receipt (same receipt photographed multiple times or with small variations).
• More sophisticated fraud attempts.

To improve security, validation reliability, and result consistency, Easypromos is moving to AI-powered automatic validation.

Benefits of AI-powered automatic validation

AI-powered automatic validation provides a more robust and reliable system for "Buy & Win" promotions, including:

• Better detection of duplicates and similarities.
• Higher effectiveness against fraud and receipt reuse.
• Structured extraction of all receipt data.
• Detection of product lines: description, references, units, and amount.
• Creation of complex validation rules based on receipt values.
• Creation of complex prize assignment rules based on receipt values.
• More consistent and scalable results.
• Premoderation system to enforce manual receipt review when necessary.

Who is affected?

This change only affects promotions using the Manual receipt validation requirement.
If your promotion already uses AI-powered automatic validation, no action is needed.

What should you do?

If you are using manual validation in your promotions:

• If you have any active promotions that will continue beyond March 1, 2026, contact the Easypromos support for a specific solution.
• If you have a scheduled promotion with manual validation that ends before March 1, 2026, you can still use it.
• If you have a scheduled promotion with manual validation that ends after March 1, 2026, we recommend setting it up with AI-powered automatic validation from the beginning. Contact our support team for guidance.
