Method and system for handling and storing purchase transactions

A system for handling and storing a non-physical sales receipt, thereby updating one or more accounting and/or bookkeeping systems, the system comprising:

• a user computing device that receives, handles, and stores information relating to a non-physical sales receipt generated when a user purchases an item, wherein the user pays with one or more of a credit card, a debit card, a mobile phone, a bank account, cash or another payment device and the user provides one or more unique user identification parameters, each linking to a communication address of the user;
• wherein the user computing device receives the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information at the user computing device from a separate device having sales data and using the communication address of the user;
• the non-physical sales receipt comprising one or more of a digital sales receipt, electronic sales receipt, other non-physical form, and/or a physical sales receipt that has been transformed into a digital sales receipt and/or an electronic sales receipt, by means of the user photographing that physical sales receipt;
• the purchase related information comprising both purchase related information and purchase related parameters;
• wherein the user computing device analyzes and compares the non-physical sales receipt and purchase related information received at the electronic communication address of the user, and one or more account details and one or more account numbers relating to the purchase and the user are identified based on configurable parameters, and the user computing device stores the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information corresponding to the one or more account details and the one or more account numbers that have been identified electronically in a database of a computing and/or cloud system;
• and
• wherein the account details are a part of a bookkeeping and/or accounting module of the computing and/or cloud system that receives and stores the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information, analyzing and updating accounting and/or bookkeeping records and pushes an updated user profile and/or account to the user computing device that mirrors a user profile maintained on the database, enabling instant access by the user on the user computing device to the updated user profile account.

A method comprising handling and storing a non-physical sales receipt, thereby updating one or more accounting and/or bookkeeping systems, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving, at a user computing device and from a separate device having sales data, a non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information generated when a user purchases an item and provides one or more unique user identification parameters, each linking to a communication address of the user, wherein the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information is sent the user computing device using the communication address of the user;
• wherein, the non-physical sales receipt comprises one or more of a digital sales receipt, electronic sales receipt, other non-physical form, and/or a physical sales receipt that has been transformed into a digital sales receipt and/or an electronic sales receipt, by means of the user photographing that physical sales receipt;
• wherein the purchase related information comprises both purchase related information and purchase related parameters;
• (b) analyzing and relating the non-physical sales receipt and purchase related information, received at the user computing device corresponding to the electronic communication address of the user, to one or more account details and one or more account numbers relating to the purchase and the user, identified based on configurable parameters, and storing in the user computing device the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information based on the one or more account details and the one or more account numbers that have been identified automatically electronically in the database of the computing and/or cloud system;
• (c) analyzing and updating accounting and/or bookkeeping records, wherein the account details are a part of a bookkeeping module of the computing and/or cloud system that receives and stores the non-physical sales receipt and the purchase related information used for analyzing and updating accounting and/or bookkeeping records;
• and
• (d) pushing an updated user profile and/or account to the user computing device that mirrors a user profile maintained on the database, enabling instant access by the user computing device to the updated user profile account.
