Abstract
A user may request receipts near a current location of the user or a desired location specified by the user. Once a location or address is determined or obtained, a service provider can access a database or other storage to search for receipts for the user within a certain distance from the current user location or desired location. This distance can vary based on results found or density of merchants in the area. The distance can be predetermined by the system or the user. All valid receipts within this distance can then be presented to the user on the user device, such as indications on a map, associated with merchant names and transaction details or summaries, and/or other formats and information.
