Notes about the order receipt on Spendgo Dashboard

  1. Receipt Subtotal :

    1. The Subtotal shown on the Dashboard receipt matches with the Subtotal on the printed receipt.

    2. Subtotal reflects the sum of line items and not the applied rewards/discounts/coupons.

    3. Also note that the points accrued on the order does not always match with the subtotal. This is because Spendgo does not compute points based on the receipt subtotal, but based on the sum of prices of items marked as qualifying for points.

  2. Receipt Total:

    1. The Total shown on the Dashboard receipt matches with the Total on the printed receipt. Receipt total reflects the sum of line item prices including modifiers + Tax + Tip minus the applied rewards/discounts.

    2. The tax, tip or other charges are not shown on the receipt.
