Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Export Your CSV from Your Bank
Save your transactions as a CSV file from your bank or card provider.
2. Upload the CSV to Foreceipt
-
Go to the Foreceipt web portal and log in.
-
Navigate to the CSV upload tool and select your file.
The interface will then prompt you to map your columns:
-
Specify which column contains the transaction date, along with its format (e.g.,
MM/DD/YYYY
orYYYY-MM-DD
). -
Identify the description column for merchants or transaction details.
-
Define the amount column, clarifying whether it reflects only “money out,” “money in,” or both.
-
Tip: Save your mapping for reuse—handy when uploading files from the same bank or card issuer.
-
3. Review the Uploaded Transactions
After uploading, you'll see all extracted transactions in a review screen:
-
Any entry flagged with “Match Found in Foreceipt” means a duplicate may exist. Click “Yes” to inspect the match—if it’s indeed a duplicate, you can delete or skip it.

4. Add Transactions to Foreceipt
-
Select the transactions you wish to import and click “Add to Foreceipt.”
-
On the next page, you can edit merchant names or categories—either individually or in bulk.
-
Click “Post to Foreceipt” to finalize. This action imports them as expenses or incomes and removes them from the pending list.

Why This Matters
-
Avoid manual entry by uploading batches of transactions at once.
-
Maintain accuracy with quick duplicate detection.
-
Streamline your workflow using reusable mappings for repeat uploads.
