Basic information on e-receipts
E-receipt is a fiscal receipt in an electronic form that fully replaces paper receipts. It is a full-fledged fiscal document regulated by the Act of 11 March 2004 on Tax on Goods and Services, the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on cash registers and the Regulation of the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology on the criteria and technical conditions to be met by cash registers.
Every fiscal receipt, whether paper or electronic, must be created by a fiscal registering device (for instance fiscal printer – full list of fiscal devices and cash registers supporting e-receipts can be found here).
By connecting with the fiscal device the eparagony.pl system enables to issue only an electronic version of the receipt and provides independent access to its readable visualisation, fulfilling all formal duties of the taxpayer. The document is archived for at least 3 years. E-receipt issued through eparagony.pl system is:

Digital receipt is an electronic fiscal document regulated by the following Polish regulations: the Act of 11 March 2004 on Tax on Goods and Services, the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on cash registers and the Regulation of the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology on the criteria and technical conditions to be met by cash registers.
No. The term “e-receipt” or “digital receipt” is overused, especially when referring to certain products or services (e.g. mobile apps of discount stores), which have little to do with a full-fledged fiscal e-receipt according to Polish law.
The differences are quite significant, as explained in the table below:
It’s important to remember that proofs of purchase available in applications of many well-known brands and stores – especially from the grocery, fashion, cosmetics and sports industries – are made only for customer convenience and don’t provide full-fledged fiscal documents according to Polish law which is very demanding in this regard.
Our HUB eparagony.pl is the first and biggest entity in Poland offering a full-fledged e-receipts system and repository for business.

How it works
To issue fiscal e-receipts through the eparagony.pl system, you need:
- an appropriate online fiscal printer* which support e-receipts (and depending on the scenario, also a computer with Windows/Linux/macOS to install on it our dedicated controlling software)
and
- integration with eparagony.pl system using a chosen integration method (check here)
*All the supported devices can be found here.
How does issuing digital receipts work?
- During the transaction, HUB eparagony.pl connects to your store (sales or accounting system) and your fiscal device.
- After the purchase the sale is fiscalised, the e-receipt is issued and safely stored in the eparagony.pl repository.
- Finally, our system provides the customer with access to the document, via selected means e.g. e-mail – which happens automatically, of course.
If necessary, our system can also handle paper receipts and receipts with Tax Number (NIP) (in electronic and paper versions).
Digital receipts in Poland are regulated by the Act of 11 March 2004 on Tax on Goods and Services, the Regulation of the Minister of Finance on cash registers and the Regulation of the Minister of Entrepreneurship and Technology on the criteria and technical conditions to be met by cash registers.
Every entrepreneur (every taxpayer) can issue digital receipts according to Polish law.
To do it, one needs to have an appropriate fiscal device and integrate with an e-receipt issuing system like eparagony.pl.
To issue full-fledged fiscal e-receipts instead of paper ones through eparagony.pl system, you need to:
- have an appropriate online fiscal printer supporting e-receipts (full list of printers can be found here)
- integrate your store (sales or accounting system) with eparagony.pl HUB through a chosen module/plug-in or our API (check all the available integrations here)
The printout of traditional receipts is stopped thanks to our dedicated software controlling the operations of the fiscal device. It needs to be installed on a personal computer or server with Windows or Linux. While issuing digital receipts both the computer and fiscal device must have constant access to the network.

According to Polish regulations, the process of issuing electronic receipts requires an appropriate fiscal device (an online fiscal printer for all entrepreneurs and for several selected industries also a so-called virtual cash register).
However, we’ve come up with a solution. You can leave your fiscal device to our specialists and enjoy maintenance-free fiscalisation. Check our printer management service.
