“Can receipt-level transaction data be turned into a consumer data platform that gives SMB merchants the same post-purchase engagement capabilities as large retailers?”
Founded in 2018, I Hate Receipts set out to replace paper receipts with an interactive digital receipt experience at the point of sale. The company built integrations with payment terminals (Ingenico), merchant acquirers (Payroc), and card networks (Mastercard) to capture Level 3 receipt data and turn it into a consumer data platform (CDP) for SMB merchants. As of the latest evidence, the company employs 4 people and was still seeking a seed raise of $2M, indicating the product remains early-stage and pre-scale.
