How to Find a Lost Walmart Receipt
Misplaced your Walmart receipt? Before you give up, there are a few quick places to look — and if the original is gone for good, you can recreate one for your records.
Where to look first
- 1Check your email — Walmart and many retailers send a digital receipt or order confirmation at checkout.
- 2Use Walmart's online receipt lookup: enter the store location, purchase date and the card you paid with, and it can retrieve a copy of an in-store receipt. Purchases made while signed in to the Walmart app appear under Purchase History automatically.
- 3Review your bank or credit-card statement to confirm the date, location and exact amount of the purchase.
- 4Contact Walmart customer service with your payment card, the store or location, and the approximate date — they can sometimes look up or reprint a receipt.
Good to know about Walmart receipts
Every Walmart receipt carries a TC# (transaction code) near the barcode — with that number, any Walmart store can pull up the full transaction.

- Can I get a copy of an old Walmart receipt?
- Often yes. Use Walmart's online receipt lookup: enter the store location, purchase date and the card you paid with, and it can retrieve a copy of an in-store receipt. Purchases made while signed in to the Walmart app appear under Purchase History automatically. For older purchases, Walmart 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 Walmart keep receipts on file?
- It varies. Purchases made through a Walmart app, loyalty program or online account are usually stored in your order history. Every Walmart receipt carries a TC# (transaction code) near the barcode — with that number, any Walmart store can pull up the full transaction. 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.
