Frequently asked questions

Can I get a copy of an old Apple Store receipt?
Often yes. Apple emails every receipt automatically. For App Store/services, see Settings → Media & Purchases or reportaproblem.apple.com; for retail purchases, check the email on your Apple ID. For older purchases, Apple Store customer service may be able to look up the transaction with the card you paid with and the approximate date — the more precisely you can pin down the store, day and amount, the better the odds of a successful lookup.
Does Apple Store keep receipts on file?
It varies. Purchases made through a Apple Store app, loyalty program or online account are usually stored in your order history. Apple Store purchases tie to your Apple ID, so a Genius Bar appointment can verify ownership without any paper receipt. In-store cash purchases with no loyalty scan are the hardest to retrieve, which is when recreating a receipt for your records is most useful.
