Order pages and confirmation emails can disappear. Saving them as PDF gives you a copy you can find when you need a refund, a warranty claim, or an expense report.
What to save
- Order confirmations and invoices
- Booking and ticket confirmations
- Subscription and payment receipts
- Warranty and return information
How to save
- Open the receipt or confirmation page.
- Save the page as PDF (see our guide on saving web pages as PDF on iPhone).
- Name the file with date, store, and amount.
- Move it to a dedicated receipts folder.
A simple naming system
Use YYYY-MM-DD_store_amount.pdf , for example 2026-05-14_electronics_89.pdf . Sorting by name then sorts by date.
Keep folders tidy
Create one folder per year and subfolders for categories such as Travel, Home, and Work.
