Field mapping
Map individual Google Sheets cells to receipt fields so line-item data, totals, and payer details populate automatically into the receipt document for each transaction.
Administrators set up templates, manage add-on integrations, and configure access controls and retention policies. They ensure that mappings are accurate, compliance options like HIPAA are enabled where needed, and that audit logs are preserved for legal or accounting review.
Signers receive the receipt for approval and provide an electronic signature. Their role involves identity verification as required and confirming transaction details; completed receipts are then returned to the sender and stored according to policy.
