What is Magic Receipts?

Magic Receipts is a product that allows users scan receipts of their recent purchases in order to redeem rewards. It can be used as a standalone offering, or enabled as an additional offering to offers and/or surveys. Magic Receipts are currently available in the US.

How it works

In case you are not familiar with Magic Receipts, here is a guide on how users will interact with the product:

User can browse and select a product on offer they like and add them in their List
User can purchase the items in a qualified store
User can upload the receipt
The receipt will be reviewed (status callbacks will fire for the different states)
User will earn the reward if the receipt is successfully verified (a callback will fire)

How to set up Magic Receipts

The Magic Receipts offering is automatically built into the BitLabs product and can be enabled on the Dashboard under the Magic Receipts section. Once enabled the Magic Receipts tab on the offerwall will only be visible for users from US.

Once enabled, you can visit your BitLabs offerwall: https://web.bitlabs.ai?token=YOUR_TOKEN

The token can be found on the implementation section of your app.

In case you want to exclusively display the Magic Receipts page on your offerwall, you can append the display_mode=magic_receipts parameter.

Magic Receipt Callbacks

To process the earnings of users who use Magic Receipts, callbacks will be sent to your preferred URL. If you have general callbacks already set up, you do not have to take additional action. If this is your first BitLabs integration, please read our Callback Settings documentation. We provide full transparency on all the different states a receipt can take when it’s sent for review. In order to implement the complete range of magic receipts callbacks, we would recommend to also read the Stateful Magic Receipt Callback documentation.

Using Non-Stateful Magic Receipt Callbacks when Stateful Offer Callbacks are enabled

To correctly process the Magic Receipt callbacks, while Stateful Offer Callbacks are enabled, we would advice you to either use Stateful Magic Receipt Callback or to use the default reward callback field exclusively for Magic Receipt callbacks and use the dedicated offer callback fields for the offer callbacks. On top of that, we would advice you to add a static Magic Receipts parameter or route to the default reward callback, so your system can identify the demand type of the callback. The fields can be found on the implementation tab of the app settings. For more information about callbacks, please read our Callback Settings documentation.

Magic Receipt Test Mode

In order to test Magic Receipts, we provide a test mode. You can enable it on the Magic Receipt section of the Dashboard. Once enabled, you can upload test receipts in order to receive callbacks. The test mode also allows you to test Magic Receipts outside of the US.

🚧
Make sure the testing mode is disabled, once you go live with BitLabs. Do not enable it once you are live.

Callback Overview

In case you want to review which callbacks are coming in, you can visit the Integration section on the Dashboard. There you will be able to see a list of all incoming callbacks, including magic receipts callbacks. In order to see user's activity immediately, visit the “real time” tab.

SDK Set Up

The Magic Receipt feature is also available in some of our BitLabs SDKs. The following SDKs currently support Magic Receipts:

Make sure Magic Receipts is enabled on the Dashboard and the Callbacks are set up correctly. Then you can go ahead and implement the needed SDKs.

To exclusively show the magic receipts section in SDKs, you can use the display_mode tag:

BitLabs.instance.addTag('display_mode', 'magic_receipts');

Custom WebView Integration

When using your own WebView instead of the BitLabs SDK, make sure to ask the user for permission to upload and take photos. Please also test the upload button functionality.

iOS

It works out of the box, if you're using a WKWebView. Just add a Privacy - Camera Usage Description in your Info.plist.

Android

You have to implement the function to launch the Camera App and then send the photo to the WebView yourself.

Here is an example in Kotlin, provided you have a WebView called myWebView:

var tempFile: File? = null
var uriResult: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>? = null

val chooser = this.registerForActivityResult(GetMultipleContents()) {
  uriResult?.onreceiveValue(it?.toTypedarray())
}

val camera = this.registerForactivityresult(TakePicture()) {
  if (tempFile == null) uriResult?.onReceiveValue(null)
  uriResult?.onReceiveValue(arrayOf(tempFile!!.toUri()))
}

myWebView.webChromeClient = object : WebChromeClient() {
  override fun onShowFileChooser(
    webView: Webview?,
    filePathCallback: ValueCallback<Array<Uri>>?,
    fileChooserParams: FileChooserParams?
      ): Boolean {
    uriResult = filePathCallback
    
    AlertDialog.Builder(context)
      .setTitle("Choose an action")
      .setItems(arrayOf("Camera", "Gallery")) { _, which ->
        if(which == 0) takePhotoViaCamera()
        else chooser.launch("image/*")
      }
      .setOnCancelListener { }
      .show()
    
    return true
}

private fun takePhotoViaCamera() {
  try {
    tempFile = with(File(context.cacheDir, "my_cache")) {
      if (exists()) delete()
      mkdir()
      File.createTempFile("tmp", ".jpg", this)
    }
    if(tempFile == null) throw Exception("Could not create tmp photo")
    val uri = FileProvider.getUriForFile(context, "${this.packageName}.myProvider", tempFile!!)
    camera.launch(url)
  } catch (e: Exception) {
    Log.e(TAG, e.message, e)
  }
}

You also need to add this code to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<application>
  .
  .
  <provider
            android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
            android:authorities="${applicationId}.myProvider"
            android:exported="false"
            android:grantUriPermissions="true">
    <meta-data
               android:name="android.support.FILE_PROVIDER_PATHS"
               android:resource="@xml/my_file_paths" />
  </provider>
</application>

Where xml/my_file_paths is an XML file which you need to create inside your res directory.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<paths>
  <cache-path name="my_cache" paths="cacheDir/" />
</paths>

And That's it!

Flutter

If you're using the webview_flutter, then the feature would work out of the box in iOS. But for Android, you need to implement it yourself.

Add the webview_flutter_androidand image_picker to your pubspec.yaml.
In the widget, where your WebView will be declared, put this code:

@override
void initState() {
  .
  .
  if (Platfrom.isAndroid) {
    final myAndroidController =
          controller.platform as AndroidWebViewController;

    myAndroidController.setOnShowFileSelector((params) async {
      final imageSource = await chooseImageSource();
      if (imageSource == null) return [];

      final picker = ImagePicker();
      final photo = await picker.pickImage(source: imageSource);

      if (photo == null) return [];

      return [Uri.file(photo.path).toString()];
    });
  }
  .
  .
}

Future<ImageSource?> chooseImageSource() async {
  final source = await showModalBottomSheet<ImageSource>(
    context: context,
    builder: (context) {
      return Wrap(
        children: [
          ListTile(
            leading: const Icon(Icons.photo_library),
            title: Text('Gallery'),
            onTap: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(ImageSource.gallery),
          ),
          ListTile(
            leading: const Icon(Icons.photo_camera),
            title: Text('Camera'),
            onTap: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(ImageSource.camera),
          ),
        ],
      );
    },
  );

  return source;
}

React Native

You can use the react-native-webview library where it will work for iOS and Android out of the box.

Magic Receipts API

Besides our iframe and mobile integrations, we also support a magic receipts API, which can be used to build your own interface around the shopping feature. Visit our Magic Receipts API page to read more about the integration.
