Abstract
A method is disclosed for transferring receipt data to a computing device corresponding to a customer. The method may include initiating a transaction at a point-of-sale system. During the transaction, a computer system comprising the point-of-sale system, may identify a computing device corresponding to a customer associated with the transaction. Once the transaction has been completed, the computer system may direct a push notification to the computing device. In response to the push notification, the computer system may receive a request for receipt data documenting the transaction. Accordingly, the computer system may provide the receipt data to the computing device.
