Introducing Greenback. Automate Your Uber/Lyft Receipts!
Hi Everyone! I wanted to tell you about Greenback. A powerful, new app that automates Uber/Lyft receipts! The secret is …
UPDATE: For Lyft receipts, since their website changed, you can't get them automatically fetched. But you can automatically forward your emailed receipts from Lyft to your Greenback Mailbox and easily convert them into expense transactions. Then just export them to your QuickBooks Online account.
This was a great article Felicia. There’s one more thing that Uber does. They make it possible to automate your rideshare receipts (usually for business expenses) to be synced to Quickbooks or Xero! It’s a third-party app called Greenback. Greenback automatically imports them directly from Uber. You can see all of your transactions on your dashboard and Greenback will sync them when you want them to be exported to your accounting platform. The data automatically gets filled in and the receipt is automatically attached too. So there’s no manual data entry. It’s free for passengers.

Hi RMaddox!
Oh you have a good question. I thought that too. But no. The app imports the original receipts straight from Uber and Lyft. Your permission allows them access to capture your receipt data for you. Greenback does not have access to your inbox or emails. If you also connect an accounting platform like Quickbooks or Xero then you can sync your receipt data (and a pdf will be automatically attached to the transaction) too. Greenback has intelligent syncs so it automatically matches transactions for you, creates new ones, auto-populates fields, prevents duplicates and more. It is really cool seeing all of my receipts in my dashboard and then the data gets filled in in my Quickbooks account with basically no manual data entry. I connected Spirit and Delta too.

Hi Elizabethuphaus5!
If you take a Lyft or Uber ride or do UberEats or something like that, you will be emailed a receipt from them and not from RideGuru. For example, my email said:
Lyft Ride Receipt [[email protected]] for a car ride I took. When you open the email it doesn't exactly look like a receipt but it is. Their email is acceptable as an electronic receipt for IRS tax purposes and counts as a supporting document when reconciling your books if your ride was a business expense. (of course always check with your accountant for advice).
If you need an easier way to keep track of your expenses for your business, there is an app that can import your original receipts for you directly from Lyft, Uber, and more and sync your receipt data with Quickbooks or Xero. Check it out for free![]()
at Greenback.com. There's no manual data entry, no scans, or searching through emails anymore. You can see all of your trips and receipts in one place. Greenback fetches everything for you automatically. It only works for passengers though, not drivers. Everyone should get their trip receipts automated and connected so they can save time! ![cool]()
