Your receipt vault
Where your signed receipts will arrive.
Shahidi Box is in pre-launch. We are opening boxes a few at a time, so that every receipt lands where it should. When yours is ready we will email you at . After that, your signed receipts will arrive here by themselves whenever a connected till issues one.
Nothing of yours to show yet.
When that day comes you will also set up your key and a recovery key. Meanwhile, the My receipts tab shows, with made-up examples, how each receipt will be captured, kept and shown.
Where you are signed in
The devices that can open your box.
These are the devices signed in to your account. Each one shows the browser and system, the start of its IP address, and the town and country its network reports, when it says.

If you see a device you do not recognise, sign it out and then change your password. Changing your password signs out every other device at once.

We will never charge you, or renew a plan, without telling you the price first and getting your agreement. Read the terms. Questions about packages? Write to us.
My receipts
Every signed receipt that a connected till sends for you lands here, whichever POS it came from, grouped by the day it was captured. Nothing has reached your box yet, so the list below is made up to show how it will look. Your own receipts will replace it.
Filters
| Tick | Captured | Seller | Receipt | POS | Matched by | Total, KES | Open |
|---|
No receipt matches these filters.
Each receipt shows which POS sent it and how it found your box: by KRA PIN, phone number, email address, Box code or claim code. Choose a receipt to read it, download it or print it.
Receipt
This receipt is made up. Every real one will be captured the same way: a tidy copy for reading, and the original exactly as the till issued it. You can view it, download it as a PDF, download the original data file, or print it.
This is the receipt exactly as the till issued it. We keep it unchanged, and the tidy copy is made from it.
Fingerprint (SHA-256) of this original: Download the original file and run it through any SHA-256 tool, and you will get the same fingerprint. If even one character changed, the fingerprint would change too.
Only you can see your notes. They show beside the receipt in the list, you can search them, and they go into your spreadsheet export. Until your box is live, they are kept in this browser only.
How each receipt is captured
- The till issues the receipt. Your POS issues a signed eTIMS receipt, as it does today. Nothing changes at the counter.
- Shahidi Box captures the original. The moment it is issued, the connected till sends us the receipt exactly as signed: the items, the tax, the control unit data and the QR code.
- We keep it unchanged. The original will be sealed with your key and never edited. We work out its fingerprint, so any change would show.
- You view, download or print it. Read the tidy copy, download it as a PDF, download the original data file, or print it.
What each receipt holds
| Seller | Name, KRA PIN and address |
| Receipt | Number, date and time, type, customer |
| Till | POS, terminal and branch |
| Items | Name, quantity, price and tax class |
| Tax and total | Each tax class, the VAT and the total |
| Payment | Method and reference |
| Control unit data | Serial number, invoice number, signature and internal data |
| QR code | As printed on the receipt |
| Added by Shahidi Box | Box ID, the time it was captured and its fingerprint |
The names, amounts, numbers and QR code in the sample are made up. They are not a real receipt, and the sample is not tax advice.
Cleaned data
Your receipts with the personal details taken out. The original stays exactly as the till issued it. From it we make this cleaned copy: one row for every item, showing what was bought, where, when and for how much, and nothing that says who you are. The rows below come from the made-up receipts in My receipts. Your own will replace them.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
| Date | Receipt | Seller | Location | Item | Qty | Unit price | Tax | Total, KES |
|---|
The export holds every item, not only the page you are on.
What is taken out
| Who you are | Your name, phone number, email address and KRA PIN, and how the receipt found your box. |
| Receipt identifiers | The receipt number, Box ID and till details. Each receipt is called Receipt 1, Receipt 2 and so on instead. |
| Time and payment | The exact time, the payment reference and any card digits. Only the day and the kind of payment stay. |
| Tax proof | The control unit data, the signature and the QR code. They stay in your original, and in the KRA/eTIMS tab. |
What stays
The date, the seller and its location, each item with its quantity and price, the tax class, the total and the payment method.
Taking these details out makes the table safer to share, but it is not anonymous. Someone who knows where and when you shopped could still guess it is you. The sellers, items and amounts above are made up, and this is not tax advice.
KRA and eTIMS
eTIMS is the Kenya Revenue Authority’s electronic tax invoice system. When a till issues a signed eTIMS receipt, KRA receives it too. This tab shows the tax side of your receipts: the seller’s KRA PIN, the control unit numbers that eTIMS adds, and the VAT in each receipt. The rows below come from the made-up receipts in My receipts. Your own will replace them.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
| Date | Seller | Seller KRA PIN | Receipt | Control unit invoice no. | Exempt | Before VAT | VAT 16% | Total, KES |
|---|
Your KRA PIN
| On your box |
When a seller types your KRA PIN at the till, the receipt can find your box. We match it with a one-way fingerprint, not the PIN itself. To change it, open Change profile. If you cover your details on the Profile tab, this is covered too.
How to check a receipt with KRA
- Scan the QR code. Every eTIMS receipt has one. Scan it with any QR reader.
- Or use the invoice checker. On KRA’s iTax portal, enter the invoice number from the receipt. The checker also has fields for the buyer’s details, so a mistake can be put right.
Shahidi Box does not connect to KRA’s systems. Checking happens on KRA’s own pages, at www.kra.go.ke.
If you run a business
Under the Finance Act, 2023, an expense is generally not deductible for income tax unless its invoice was generated through eTIMS, with some exemptions. KRA announced in November 2025 that from 1 January 2026 it checks the income and expenses in tax returns against eTIMS records, among other sources. Ask each seller to put your correct KRA PIN on the receipt. A copy in your box gives you something to match against your books.
Shahidi Box is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the Kenya Revenue Authority, and it does not file anything for you. The receipt issued by the till, and the record held by the seller and KRA, stay the official record. The sellers, numbers and amounts above are made up. This is not tax or legal advice. See KRA and eTIMS in our legal notices.
Important documents
A locked place for the papers you cannot afford to lose.
Add the papers that matter: a lease, a warranty, a tax compliance certificate, an insurance policy, a contract. Each one is encrypted on this device before it is saved, and only your PIN, or your device’s biometrics if you turn them on, can open it. Nothing is sent to Receipters.
This browser cannot keep locked documents. Please try a recent version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
Your documents are locked
Forgot your PIN?
We cannot reset it, because we never see it. You can erase this locked space and start again, but everything in it will be gone for good.
Each file can be up to 10 MB, and you can keep up to 25. It locks itself after two quiet minutes, and when you leave this tab.
Nothing here yet. Choose Add documents to lock your first one.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
| Document | Kind | Expires | Format | Added | Size | Actions |
|---|
A copy you download is not locked. Keep it somewhere safe, and delete it when you are done.
Biometrics
How your documents are protected
| Locked on this device | Each document is encrypted here, with AES-256, before it is saved. The name you give it, its kind, its expiry date, its file type and its size are locked too. A locked space shows only how many documents it holds. |
| Opened only by you | Your PIN opens it, or your device’s biometrics if you turn them on. Five wrong PINs pause it for 15 minutes. It locks itself when you stop using it or leave the tab. |
| Not sent to us | The locked files stay in this browser. Receipters never receives them, and cannot read them. |
| If you forget your PIN | Nobody can open your documents. You can erase the space and start again. |
| Kept here for now | Until your box opens, documents live in this browser only. Clearing your browser data, or using another browser or device, removes or hides them. Keep the originals. |
What to keep here
Once your locked space is open, choose a kind here to add a document of that kind.
Keep the original paper or file somewhere safe too. A copy here is a copy, and the issuer’s record stays the official one. This is not legal advice.
