## Other ways to submit a receipt

You don't have to log in to the website every time you want to attach a receipt. PEX can also collect receipts by text message and by email, and it will auto match them to the right transaction for you.

When you make a purchase, PEX can send you a **receipt reminder** by SMS or email so you don't forget to submit documentation. Reply to that reminder with a photo of your receipt and PEX takes care of the rest. You can turn the receipt reminder on from the [Notifications](https://dashboard.pexcard.com/account/notifications) tab in your profile.

* **Text to PEX** — Text a photo of your receipt to PEX at (640) 800-7522, or reply to your SMS receipt reminder. See the [Text to PEX (Cardholder guide)](/cardholder-guide/text-to-pex-cardholder-guide) for setup and details.
* **Email to PEX** — Email a receipt to [receipts@pexcard.com](mailto:receipts@pexcard.com), or reply to your email receipt reminder. See the [Email to PEX (Cardholder guide)](/cardholder-guide/email-to-pex-cardholder-guide) for setup and details.

<Note>
  **Note:**

  To receive receipt reminders and submit receipts by text or email, make sure the phone number or email address you use is verified in your [profile](https://dashboard.pexcard.com/account/profile).

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Do I need to include the receipt amount along with the image?">
    No. The receipt image is enough for PEX to auto match it to the transaction.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I submit more than one receipt at a time?">
    Yes. When you text or email in multiple receipts, PEX auto matches each one to its corresponding transaction. On the website, upload one file per transaction.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My receipt is too long. Can I submit it in parts?">
    Yes. Just make sure the date and total amount paid are visible.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why didn't my receipt match?">
    For best matching results, make sure the receipt shows the merchant name, date and total amount paid, and only submit receipts for purchases made with your PEX card. If it still doesn't match, you can attach it manually from the website or the [mobile app](/cardholder-guide/how-to-attach-a-receipt-to-a-transaction-record-mobile-app-cardholder).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are the other ways to submit a receipt?">
    You can text a photo of your receipt to PEX at (640) 800-7522 or email it to [receipts@pexcard.com](mailto:receipts@pexcard.com). See the [Text to PEX](/cardholder-guide/text-to-pex-cardholder-guide) and [Email to PEX](/cardholder-guide/email-to-pex-cardholder-guide) guides for details.
