How to Find App Store and Apple Store Receipts on Any Device
Lost an Apple receipt? This guide shows you how to find App Store purchase receipts from your iPhone, Mac, or any browser, plus how to download Apple Store invoices for physical products like iPhones and Macs. Once retrieved, you can forward them to a receipt scanner to keep your records organized automatically. You can also skip the retrieving altogether: Apple emails every receipt to your Apple ID address, so email history extraction can collect all of your past App Store and Apple Store receipts from that inbox in one run.
When you make a purchase through the App Store or Apple Store, you will get an e-receipt that is sent to the email address registered to Apple ID. If you have lost the receipt from an App or Apple Store purchase, you might wonder where you can redownload them. There are a couple of ways, depending on your device and where the item was purchased. This guide will walk you though:
- Find receipt of an App Store (digital) purchase, whether an app, e-book, music or others.
- Find receipt of an Apple Store purchase. These include e.g. all your physical devices like iPhones, iPads, Macs and their accessories.
Find App Store Receipts from Your iPhone
On your iPhone or iPad, your purchases live in the App Store app, not in Settings.
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap your photo or initials in the top corner.
- Tap "Apps & Purchase History".
- Tap "Purchase History".
- Find and tap the purchase you are looking for to see its date, order ID, and amount.
This shows the purchase details on the device. To get the receipt or invoice itself, open reportaproblem.apple.com in a browser (see below), or search the inbox linked to your Apple ID, where Apple emails every receipt at the time of purchase.
Find App Store Receipts With Your Mac
On a Mac, your purchase history is in the App Store app:
- Open the App Store app.
- Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, and sign in if you are not already logged in.
- Click "Apps & Purchase History".
- Click "Purchase History" to see your purchases.
- Click a purchase to see its details.
As on iPhone, this lists what you bought. To open the invoice itself, use reportaproblem.apple.com (next section) or search your email for the receipt Apple sent when you made the purchase.
Find App Store Receipts With Any Browser
If you have made purchases with e.g. your iPhone or iPad, but only have a Windows computer at hand, you can still access your receipts. Here's how:
- With your browser, navigate to reportaproblem.apple.com
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- From the purchase history list, find your purchase.
- Click on the top row of the purchase item (the row with Date, Order ID, and total).
From the content that opens up, you can select "View Invoice". Unfortunately there seems to be no way to download the PDF receipt from that window, so you are left with taking a screenshot or copying the relevant information.
Find Apple Store Receipts
App Store and Apple Store are terms often used interchangeably, but they are two different things. In short, App Store sells digital goods like apps, music, and e-books, while Apple Store is for all physical things like iPhones, iPads and accessories.
To view your Apple Store orders, you need to go to the Order Listing page with your browser. If you are lucky enough to have the order number on hand, you can enter it directly to the form on the page. But if you have lost the receipt, chances are that the order number is missing too. But no problem, here is how to download the receipt / invoice:
- Log in with your Apple ID.
- Select the product you have ordered.
- Select "View Invoice" in the order details.
- Print the invoice or save it as a PDF to your computer.
Apple creates the invoice once the item has shipped or been picked up, so a brand-new order may not have one yet.
Once you've retrieved your Apple receipts, consider using an AI receipt scanner to organize them alongside all your other expenses. Because Apple sends every receipt to your email, you can also import them automatically from your inbox, with no manual forwarding required. Whether you need to save receipts for tax season or keep better financial records, having all your receipts in one place makes a real difference. See how the best receipt scanner apps compare.
