Your data. Your export.
WonderBon isn't one of those apps that holds your data hostage. Export your receipts and expenses any time as CSV or PDF — for tax, insurance, accounting or your personal archive.
When you really need your data.
Most of the time the app is enough. But there are four moments when a proper export is suddenly worth its weight in gold — precisely when there's no time for excuses:
Tax season
Your accountant asks for receipts for the home office, tradespeople or donations. Instead of a shoebox: CSV by email or PDF with all receipt photos.
Warranty claim
The washing machine packs in after 18 months. You need the original receipt — not a photo of the till slip, but an archive-stable file with date and merchant stamp.
Insurance claim
Water damage, burglary, lost luggage. The insurer wants proof of purchase. A PDF with every purchase from the last 3 years? In 30 seconds.
Accounting
The self-employed and treasurers know it: data has to come out of the app and into Sage, Xero or Excel. Without a CSV export, only the retyping hell remains.
Two formats. Two use cases.
CSV and PDF aren't in competition — they answer different questions. Which one you need depends on what the receiving party expects:
CSV export
"Data I can calculate with."
Structured table data, UTF-8 encoded, with all fields: date, merchant, lines, prices, categories, split, payer. Directly importable into Excel, Google Sheets, Sage, Xero or your own analysis tools.
- Excel analysis & pivot tables
- Accounting software (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks)
- Tax software (TaxCalc, GoSimpleTax, FreeAgent)
- Your own scripts & data analysis
PDF export
"Receipts I can show."
Print-ready document with a cover page and one page per receipt — including the original photo of the till slip. Archive-stable file, printable, forwardable to your accountant, insurer or warranty hotline.
- Accountant & HMRC
- Insurance claims
- Warranty claims with receipt photo
- Personal long-term archive

Exactly the data you need.
Nobody wants to export three years of receipts every time. WonderBon offers quick filters for the most common cases — and a custom range when it has to be more specific:
Four quick filters and free ranges.
On top of the period you can filter by categories (e.g. only restaurants for business entertainment), merchants (e.g. only pharmacy receipts for your NHS reimbursement) or people (e.g. only your own lines without your partner's). Before you click export, you always see a live preview: how many receipts, what total amount, what time range.
Six classic use cases.
Which export, which filter, which format — a quick orientation for the most common situations:
Tax return
CSV for the tax software, PDF with receipt photos for items you need to submit. Filter: current tax year.
Insurance claim
PDF with all relevant receipts and photos. Filter: purchases from the last 3 years.
Warranty claim
A single receipt as PDF — original photo and data in one document. Filter: by merchant or date.
Accounting
CSV for Sage, Xero or your own tools. Filter: specific categories or the monthly period.
Expense report
CSV for quick analysis, PDF for submission to your employer. Filter: custom range of the business trip.
Personal archive
Annual backup as PDF — in the cloud or on your hard drive. Filter: full year.
Why WonderBon data beats the alternatives.
There are three classic ways to "archive" receipts and expenses. All three have specific weaknesses that get expensive when it counts:
| Feature | WonderBon | Shoebox | Photo gallery | Banking app |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structured data (CSV) | Yes | No | No | Limited |
| Archive-stable receipt photos | Yes, in PDF | Faded | Yes | No |
| Filter by category/date | Yes | No | No | Limited |
| Receipt lines individually searchable | Yes | No | No | No |
| Instantly available when needed | Seconds | Hours | Search needed | Login + filter |
Frequently asked questions
Which formats can WonderBon export?
WonderBon offers two export formats: CSV for further processing in Excel, Google Sheets, Sage or accounting tools — and PDF for archive, tax, insurance or warranty claims. Both formats contain all captured data, the PDF also the original photos of the receipts.
Which fields are in the CSV export?
Date, merchant, receipt number, total, individual lines (product name + price + category), split per person, payer, notes and receipt ID for linking to the app. UTF-8 encoded, with comma or semicolon as separator — compatible with UK and international Excel versions.
Are the receipt photos included in the PDF?
Yes. The PDF format contains one page per receipt with the extracted data plus the original photo of the till slip. So you have everything in one file — structured data and visual evidence — ideal for warranty claims, insurance submissions or your accountant.
Can I filter exports by period or category?
Yes. You can filter via quick period chips (current month, last month, this year) or a freely chosen range. On top of that, exports can be limited to specific categories, merchants or people — perfect if you only want tax-relevant lines or only your own expenses.
Do the exported data belong to me?
Yes, without restriction. WonderBon takes a clear anti-lock-in position: your data belongs to you, you can export it any time in open formats. There's no premium tier that restricts exports — exports are part of the base offering of every plan.
How often can I export?
As often as you like, without limit. Many users export once a month as a routine backup, others only once a year for the tax return. There's no count restriction, no waiting times, no size limits.
Is the export GDPR-compliant?
Yes, fully. The export function gives you exactly what you could request under your GDPR right to data portability anyway — just without an application, without waiting time, with one click. Personal data in your household stays pseudonymised with the nicknames you assigned.
Your data belongs to you. We just help you organise it.
No vendor lock-in. No premium barriers. No hidden limits. When you leave, you leave with everything — in open formats, downloadable any time, complete.
