# Upload a receipt

This endpoint can be used to upload receipts in JPEG, PNG, or HEIC format. Once a receipt is submitted, it goes through a verification process, and upon successful verification, points are awarded to the member. Here, in the request body, you need to select 'form-data' to provide the user ID and upload the receipt.
