## What is Shoeboxed?

BUSINESS RECEIPT SCANNING — SNAP AND FORGET

Photograph any business receipt, we do the rest. We extract the vendor, amount, date, and category automatically. Every receipt stored, organized, and searchable — ready for tax time or your accountant. We've been scanning digital and paper receipts for businesses since 2007.

AUTOMATIC MILEAGE TRACKING — NO APP TO OPEN

Your phone tracks every business trip in the background. Every evening, we text you a summary: your trips, your miles, your potential deductions. Text back which ones were for work. That's it. No buttons, no screens, no remembering to start tracking.

At the current IRS rate of $0.725/mile, 12,000 business miles means $8,700 in deductions.

SELF-EMPLOYED? YOU'RE PROBABLY MISSING THOUSANDS IN DEDUCTIONS.

Most business owners miss deductions they've earned — simply because tracking receipts and mileage is a pain. Shoeboxed makes it effortless.

MAIL US YOUR RECEIPTS

### 5/5 — Love!

*2026-07-13, version 7.1.8*

I absolutely love Shoeboxed! The updates they’ve made have been amazing. Everything feels seamless, organized, and easy to use. It has made keeping track of my documents so much simpler, and I know it’s going to be a huge help when I prepare my taxes this upcoming year.

Thank you for creating such a useful app and continuing to improve the experience!

### 5/5 — Amazing Customer Service

*2026-05-07, version 7.1.7*

Not only is this app super easy to use, but REAL people answer your questions quickly and efficiently. Client for life!

### 5/5 — Convenient and Accurate

*2026-05-06, version 7.1.7*

Shoeboxed has helped me automate and streamline record keeping for my business. The receipt and mileage trackers are convenient and easy to use. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Love the new app

*2026-05-03, version 7.1.6*

Loving the new app - the mileage tracking is so simple and effective.  Receipts scan in seconds.  Amazing support you can actually talk to.

### 5/5 — updated App is outstanding

*2026-04-28*

The Updated App is a refreshing change and works extremely fast and is very accurate. I am pleased with the results and timely updates. Great App for busy business folks who travel a lot to track receipts and mileage. Five Stars!

### 5/5 — Support goes the extra mile

*2026-04-15, version 7.1.4*

If you’re someone who always forgets to track mileage 🙋🏻‍♀️ this app is honestly a lifesaver.

No manual logging, no remembering to start or stop trips… it just works in the background and captures everything automatically.

The Shoeboxed support team is phenomenal too — real people who are actually helpful, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile (pun intended).

### 1/5 — Much better

*2026-04-14, version 7.1.4*

Update:



I had some ongoing issues with the app (see below) but over time the problems have been fixed/addressed, and the support is much improved.

Old:
When it works well this is a fair app. But buyer beware: back everything up because receipts will occasionally disappear with no trace and expect crickets if you request support. Also the app and the website are sometimes  not synchronized. If this was a way to track songs or movies it would be fine, but for personal finance the stakes are too high for this level of glitchiness.

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective. Secure.

*2026-04-13, version 7.1.4*

An incredible App that delivers in so many ways. Receipt tracking is highly functional in a simple and easy to use layout. 

Documents are easy to organize with note taking ability. 

What could be improved:

1) Search functionality could deliver more accurate results on top. 

2) Importing of PDFs via email seems to miss some occasionally. Noticeable PDFs include Amazon invoices. 

3) Receipt editor built in to manipulate order of multi-page receipts.

### 2/5 — Using this for 10+ years

*2026-04-12, version 7.1.4*

This app is trash. I feel terrible for not having switched sooner. Nothing scans correctly and things stay in queue forever. Wild to pay $9.99 a month for so long and there are few if any upgrades. I end up manually entering and still it stays unprocessed. Not even sure why I’ve been paying them when I need to do all the work at this point. There’s a ton of burgeoning tech, so buyer beware and look for better.

### 5/5 — Love the new update

*2026-04-09, version 7.1.4*

I’m really liking the new Shoebox update, everything feels so much smoother now, especially the mileage tracking. I love it! Keep up the great work, and thank you!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 7.1.9 — 2026-07-28

The IRS raised the standard mileage rate to 76 cents per mile on July 1st, and Shoeboxed now applies the new rate to every business trip you drive from that date on. Trips from before July 1st keep the old rate, the way the IRS wants it done.
  
We also fixed a bug that bothered us: if a receipt had more than one photo, your expense report only included the first page. Now every page shows up in the report, labeled so you can easily tell them apart.

### 7.1.8 — 2026-06-11

- On an older "Digital" plan? You can now upgrade right here in the app.
- Smoother, more reliable mileage tracking.
- Clearer plan and usage details.
- Fixes and polish to keep things running smoothly.

### 7.1.7 — 2026-05-04

- Track business mileage in Canada — CRA per-km rates, postal code addresses, kilometers throughout. Built for Canadian small business owners and employees who track mileage.    
- Multi-currency receipts now scan and display correctly. CHF, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD — your foreign expenses show the right symbol on the receipt list and in the edit screen.
- Refunds are easy now. Tap ± to flip a receipt to a negative.

### 7.1.6 — 2026-04-26

Log mileage trips by hand — for trips you forgot to track or when you'd rather skip the GPS.                                                                                         

Categories you create now show on the web and stick around for your next receipt (was a bug — fixed).                                  

Type to find a category instead of scrolling through the whole list. Type a new name and we'll create it when you save.                                                                

Today's miles count is more accurate (it was undercounting on long drives).

### 7.1.5 — 2026-04-20

Select up to 20 photos at once from your library to build multi-page receipts.

Tap any receipt PDF to view it full-screen. Swipe between pages, pinch to zoom.

Each receipt now shows both the receipt date and date added so you can find what you need faster.

View your scan usage In Settings. If you hit your limit, we let you know and shows your options to get more scans.

Mileage tracking: entered the wrong phone number during setup? You can fix it right from the mileage screen now. We improved drive detection so the tracker uses less battery and does a better job detecting trips.

Exporting large reports faster,  we compress images so they don't slow things down.
