Another way to get your Target receipts is with Shoeboxed.

Shoeboxed is a receipt management app and service that digitizes, categorizes, and prepares your expenses for taxes.

Whenever you make a purchase online or choose an email receipt in-store, Shoeboxed will automatically pull that receipt from your inbox.

How can Shoeboxed organize Target receipts?

When you sync your Gmail with Shoeboxed, Target receipts and receipts from other stores (like Walmart or Amazon) will be imported to your Shoeboxed account, using Shoeboxed's special Gmail Receipt Sync feature.

Shoeboxed’s Gmail Receipt Sync grabs all receipt emails and sends them to your account for automatic processing! 

All receipts are automatically filed under the “Receipts” tab of the Shoeboxed dashboard and categorized under a particular tax category for hands-off expense management and tax prep.

There's also the option to create custom categories for your Target purchases. Over time, Shoeboxed will learn your organization patterns and organize receipts according to your preferences.

Key takeaway: Shoeboxed pulls receipt data from your email, including the vendor (Target), purchase date, total, payment type, and currency, and organizes it in your dashboard.

Purchases even come with images of the receipts attached for quick reference!

What else can Shoeboxed do?

The Shoeboxed app can be used to capture and store all of your receipts on the go—and not only that, but it also offers a service called the Magic Envelope to outsource your receipt and document scanning.
