Auto-Categorize Your Purchases by Store

Tired of manually organizing your receipts every month? With today’s smart scanning apps, auto-categorization does the work for you. One of the most powerful time-saving features is the ability to automatically group purchases by store.

Whether you shop at your favorite grocery chain, pharmacy, or online platform, an app like ScanTicket can instantly recognize the vendor on your scanned ticket. It then assigns the purchase to the correct category — no sorting, tagging, or input needed on your part.

How it works

  • Scan your receipt — paper or digital — in just a few seconds.
  • ScanTicket detects the store name, location, and logo using OCR and database matching.
  • The ticket is automatically sorted under the corresponding store category (e.g. “Groceries”, “Electronics”, “Pharmacy”).

Over time, the app builds a clear picture of your spending habits per store. You can view summaries like:

  • Total spent at Supermarket X in the past 3 months
  • Recurring purchases from a specific vendor
  • Categories most used per store (e.g. “Health” for a pharmacy chain)

Why it matters

This feature isn’t just about being tidy. It’s about gaining instant insight into where your money goes — without the manual effort. You can set budgets, identify unnecessary spending, and prepare for taxes or reimbursements with ease.


Conclusion: Auto-categorizing by store helps you stay organized and save time. It’s a smart habit that turns your scanned tickets into a living, breathing financial dashboard — ready whenever you are.
