What to save after an online purchase

Keep the order confirmation, receipt, listing details and delivery information together from the start.

Short answer: Saving the transaction record early is easier than trying to reconstruct it after a problem appears.

Simple sequence

  1. Save the order confirmation
  2. Keep the receipt or invoice
  3. Save the product description
  4. Add delivery updates and later photos if needed

Keep these together

  • Order number
  • Receipt or invoice
  • Product description
  • Delivery details

What to avoid

Avoid storing unnecessary payment-card details in a record you may later share.

Keep notes factual. If you are unsure about a date, cause or sequence, mark that uncertainty instead of filling the gap with a guess.
