PDF receipts from email or online purchases. These carry selectable text and are what the parser is built for.
Paper receipts run through a scanner or phone app that produces a searchable PDF. Send that PDF, not the image.
JPG, PNG, WebP and TIFF uploads are rejected with a 422 on every plan. ParseFlow performs no OCR.
Let users forward e-receipts (PDF) and categorize expenses automatically. Paper receipts need an OCR step first.
Automate receipt ingestion for bookkeeping. Match receipts to transactions automatically.
Bulk process receipts for tax deduction calculations. Export structured data to spreadsheets.
Validate employee expenses by matching receipt data against corporate card transactions.
The receipt parser returns structured JSON with the merchant name and address, transaction date and time, each line item with name, quantity, and price, the subtotal and tax, the grand total, the payment method, and a transaction or reference number when one is printed. Every field comes back with a confidence score so you can route uncertain results for review.
No. ParseFlow reads documents that already contain selectable text, so image uploads (JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF) are rejected with a 422 on every plan — there is no OCR engine in the product. To parse a paper receipt, run it through a scanner or phone app that produces a text-based PDF first, then send that PDF.
Digital PDF receipts from email, and printed receipts scanned to a TEXT-BASED PDF. Image files (JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF) and image-only scans are not supported on any plan and are rejected with a 422: ParseFlow extracts from text that is already in the document and performs no OCR.
Receipts and invoices share an engine but use different schemas. Receipt parsing focuses on merchant, items, totals, tax, and payment method for expense and reimbursement workflows, while invoice extraction returns invoice number, vendor and customer details, due dates, and line items for accounts payable. Set the document type explicitly or let auto-detection choose.
Yes. The free tier includes 100 receipts per month with no credit card required. You get a real API key and the same extraction engine used on paid plans, so you can build and validate a full integration before deciding whether you need more volume.
