Paperless receipts, or electronic receipts, eliminate the need for using thermal paper at point of sale registers. Electronic receipts cost nothing, are easily organized within the Android app, and never get lost or damaged. Best of all, you never need to remember your receipt if you want to return an item for a refund. To demonstrate the concept, we have included a barcode scanner to input items and used the Altera DE2 board to process the items and generate the receipt. The DE2 is also used to save a receipt on an SD card and interfaces with the Near Field Communication (NFC) module. Once the NFC module has been passed the receipt data, it is wirelessly transmitted to the phone where it is saved and can be viewed by the user.
