How to Find an Apple Receipt for App Store, Subscriptions and Store Purchases

Looking for an Apple receipt? Here is how to find your purchase history for the App Store and iTunes, use reportaproblem.apple.com, dig up Apple's email receipts, and get a copy for Apple Store retail buys.

Method 1: Check your App Store and iTunes purchase history

Most Apple receipts (apps, in-app purchases, music, movies, iCloud, and subscriptions) live in one place: your purchase history. There are two easy ways in.

  1. On any device or browser, go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with your Apple Account.
  2. Or on iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Media & Purchases, then Purchase History.
  3. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then View Information, and scroll to Purchase History.
  4. Select any purchase to see the itemized total, tax, and the document number.

This is the itemized record you need for a refund request, an expense report, or just to remember what a mystery charge was.

Tip: On reportaproblem.apple.com you can change the date range. If a charge does not show up, widen the range, because subscriptions can bill on dates you do not expect.

Method 2: Find Apple's email receipt in your inbox

Apple emails a receipt for nearly every purchase, usually within a day or so. This is often the fastest way to get a printable copy.

  1. Open the inbox tied to the Apple Account that made the purchase.
  2. Search for "apple.com", "Your receipt from Apple", or the app or product name.
  3. Open the receipt to print it or save it as a PDF.

The catch is which inbox. The receipt goes to the email on the Apple Account used for the purchase, which is not always your main address. If you use Family Sharing, the receipt usually lands with the family organizer, not the person who tapped buy. Check spam too, since receipts sometimes get filtered.

Method 3: Apple Store retail and online order receipts

Buying a Mac, iPhone, AirPods, or an accessory is different from buying an app, so the receipt lives somewhere else.

  • Online orders: Sign in to your Apple Account and look under your orders, or open the order confirmation and shipping emails Apple sent. Each order has its own invoice you can view and print.
  • Retail store purchases: Apple usually emails the receipt if you gave an email at checkout. If you paid and took a printed receipt, keep it, since in-store receipts are not always tied to your Apple Account.
  • Business or tax copies: The order invoice shows the billing details and tax you need to support a tax write-off or an expense claim.

Subscriptions: where the receipts hide

Recurring Apple charges trip up a lot of people because they bill quietly. To see them, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, or open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions to see active and expired ones, and Media & Purchases for the charges. Apple emails a receipt each billing cycle as well, so a quick inbox search for the app name usually surfaces the exact charge.

Apple receipt not working? Try this

  • Nothing in purchase history? You are probably signed into the wrong Apple Account. Many people have an old one. Check each Apple Account you have used.
  • Receipt not in your email? Search every linked inbox, including spam, for "apple.com". Remember the receipt follows the purchasing Apple Account, not your default email.
  • Family Sharing purchase? The receipt and history live with the family organizer, so ask them or sign in as that account.
  • Charge you do not recognize? Open it in purchase history first. Apple often groups several small charges into one receipt, which explains a surprising total.

The faster way: let Mylo grab every receipt automatically

Bouncing between reportaproblem.apple.com, three inboxes, and your Apple Account orders is a lot of steps for one receipt. Mylo does it for you: it scans your email inboxes and signs into the accounts where receipts hide, pulls the itemized Apple receipt, and matches each one to the card transaction that paid for it. Apple, Amazon, Walmart, Costco and more, all in one place.

No new card and no manual entry. Mylo works on top of the Visa, Mastercard, or Amex you already use, then syncs clean, categorized expenses to QuickBooks. Free on iOS, Android, and the web.

Sources: Apple Support pages for purchase history, receipts, and Apple Account orders. Exact steps and labels can vary by device, iOS version, and region.

Frequently asked questions

What is reportaproblem.apple.com used for?

It is Apple's site for viewing your App Store, iTunes, and subscription purchase history and for requesting a refund on a charge. Sign in with the same Apple Account you bought with, and you can see each purchase, its date, and its total.

Why can't I find my Apple receipt in my email?

In most cases the receipt went to the email on the Apple Account used for the purchase, which may differ from your main inbox. Search every linked inbox for "apple.com" or "Your receipt from Apple", and check spam. If you used Family Sharing, the receipt usually goes to the family organizer.

Are App Store receipts and Apple Store receipts the same thing?

No. App Store, iTunes, and subscription receipts come from your Media & Purchases history. Apple Store purchases (a Mac, iPhone, or accessory bought online or in a retail store) have separate receipts found under your Apple Account orders or in the order confirmation email.

How do I get a receipt for an Apple subscription?

Subscription charges appear in your purchase history at reportaproblem.apple.com or under Settings, your name, then Subscriptions and Media & Purchases. Apple also emails a receipt each billing cycle, so searching your inbox for the app name works too.
