Digital receipts have gained prominence in the
retail and payments industries as many consumers are using
electronic receipts for seamless returns, exchanges and coupon
redemption.
“Retailers love digital receipts because they
are environmentally friendly and provide shoppers with convenience,
especially since mobile devices now play a large role in the
shopping experience,” said Richard Mader, executive director of
ARTS.
“The release of Version 2 will accelerate the
adoption of digital receipts in the years to come.”
Several POS providers have committed to
supporting the standard and plan to make digital receipts available
