Managing your business expenses just got easier! With JobsPaid, you can snap a photo of any receipt and attach it to your expenses in seconds. No more shoebox full of crumpled papers or lost receipts at tax time.

Taking a Great Receipt Photo

2. Lay the receipt flat on a dark surface
3. Hold your phone directly above the receipt
4. Make sure all four corners are visible in the frame
5. Tap to focus before taking the photo
6. Check that all text is clear and readable

Uploading Your Receipt Photo

1. Open JobsPaid and tap Expenses from your dashboard
2. Tap the + Add Expense button
3. Fill in the basic expense details (amount, date, description)
4. Look for the Add Receipt or camera icon button
5. Choose Take Photo to use your camera now, or Choose from Gallery if you already took the picture
6. If taking a new photo, position your receipt and tap the capture button
7. Review the photo and retake if needed
8. Tap Use Photo or Save to attach it to your expense
9. Tap Save Expense to complete the entry

Your receipt is now safely stored with your expense record!

Common Mistakes

Don't photograph receipts in dim lighting - the text won't be readable later when you need it for taxes.

Avoid folded or wrinkled receipts in photos. Smooth them out first so all information is visible.

Don't rush the photo. Take a moment to make sure the entire receipt fits in the frame and nothing is cut off.

Remember to save your expense after adding the receipt photo - the app won't automatically save your work.
