摘要

A method and system for routing receipts to customers by merchants using a computing platform which includes generating a scan-able code by a merchant point of sale (POS) device for capturing by a mobile device of a customer to receive a virtual receipt of the transaction, generating, by the merchant POS, identifying data for the customer by combining data from the scan-able code with identifying data generated by the merchant POS relating to the transaction wherein the identifying data includes identifiers of one or more of: time stamp data of the transaction, data about items or services purchased in the transaction; and random data generated by the merchant POS during the time of the transaction and sending, by the merchant POS using the computing platform, the identifying data to an app cloud storage wherein the app cloud storage is configured as a block chain ledger accessible by the customer.
