You photograph a receipt, send an invoice, and log mileage. We file vendor, tax, and category. Year-end is a pack you hand to your accountant — not a pile in a bag.
Snap a slip. We read vendor, tax, and category. Send an invoice when someone owes you. QuickBooks is optional — connect it later in Settings if you already keep books there.
Fourteen days free, no credit card. Then $12.99 a month. There is no free-forever tier and no monthly receipt cap. If the trial ends without a subscription, the shoebox locks for the owner. Your receipts stay.
Three ways: Snap a photo on your phone, forward the email to your address ([email protected]), or drop a PDF or image into the inbox. One slip stays one. Five slips in one photo become five rows. Multi-page PDFs and forwarded emails still split.
No. Kin is the source of truth. QuickBooks and Xero copy data out if you want them. You can capture, sort, invoice, and hand over a pack without connecting either.
In the app: Settings → Integrations. Connect the books you already use. Kin stays the source of truth. They copy data out. Skip this and you can still hand over a year-end pack.
Yes. Export the PDFs as a ZIP and import it. We extract each document and start learning your vendors from there.
Onboarding gives you a receipt address. Forward vendor invoices, order confirmations, or Interac notices. Attachments are extracted. If there is no attachment, we read the email body.
Handled. A lot of vendors send HTML or text with no PDF. We pull vendor, amount, date, and order number from the body.
We look through quoted replies, not just the top message. If the invoice is three replies down, we still try to find it.
Till slips, invoices, EFT and Interac confirmations, credit notes, work orders, purchase orders, hotel folios, contractor invoices, utility bills, bank fees, and private-party purchases. We sort the type so an unpaid invoice is not booked as money already spent.
An invoice is a bill that is not paid yet — it becomes a Bill if you publish to QuickBooks. A receipt is proof you already paid — it becomes an Expense. An EFT confirmation is matched to a bill. Mixing those up throws off payables.
Yes. Language is detected. Facture, TPS, TVQ, and Sous-total map correctly. TPS is GST. TVQ is QST.
We still try. A weak read gets a low confidence score and sits for you to check. We do not fail silently.
Fines, penalties, cannabis, and similar items are flagged and blocked from publishing as a business expense. They stay in the shoebox so the record is complete.
Province on the books sets the default. GST is 5% everywhere. HST is 13% in Ontario, 14% in Nova Scotia, and 15% in New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Prince Edward Island (CRA rates as of 2025–26). British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba add PST on top of GST. Quebec adds QST. PST is not an input tax credit. This is a filing aid — not tax advice. Confirm against CRA and your accountant.
We fetch an exchange rate for the invoice date and store the amount in your currency. Foreign VAT is flagged as not recoverable for a Canadian registrant.
Restaurant and food-delivery vendors get a 50% deductibility note. We do not know who sat at the table — you confirm it was business. The flag stops a full claim by accident.
Yes. Write the invoice, send the link, get paid — without opening another app.
Log the trip. We apply the current rate for the province. That line belongs in the same year-end pack as the slips.
You invite them into your shoebox. They work the books. You stay the owner. They do not buy a second product.
A pack for the year — documents, totals by T2125 line, GST/HST, mileage — ready to hand over. Seven years deep, from the filing deadline, not from the day you snapped it. We do not file the return.
No. We do not file your return. The year-end pack groups slips, tax, and mileage the way Form T2125 is laid out so you or your accountant can complete it. Filing aid — not tax advice.
Search by year, vendor, or amount. Export the pack. If you published to QuickBooks or Xero, the original file is on the transaction there too.
Yes, from the receipt. If it was already published, reverse it in QuickBooks or Xero as well.
The shoebox locks until you subscribe at $12.99/month. Your receipts stay. An accountant already on the books can still work — they never see the paywall. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
Yes. Settings → Plan opens the Stripe portal. The subscription runs to the end of the period you already paid. We do not prorate partial months.
