What Is on a Walmart Receipt
A Walmart receipt is the thermal slip from the largest retailer in the country, so its format is the one most people picture when they think of a store receipt. It names the Supercenter and its store number, carries a compact identifier line, lists each item in caps with its price, sums the totals, prints a long card authorization block, and finishes with the items sold count and the TC number used to pull the purchase up later. The example below mirrors a Springfield location. Swap in your own store, items, and totals and it becomes a receipt you can print or save.
- Store header
- The Supercenter name with its store number, then the street address, the city and ZIP, and the store phone. This block identifies which Walmart rang the sale.
- The ST, OP, TE, TR line
- One line carrying four identifiers: ST is the store number, OP is the operator or cashier ID, TE is the terminal or lane, and TR is the transaction number. Customer service uses these to find a trip on a return.
- Item lines
- Each product in capitals with its price on the right, from the GV store brand, short for Great Value, to general merchandise like an HDMI cable. Real slips add the UPC and a tax code letter next to each line.
- Totals and card block
- The subtotal, the tax, the total, and the amount tendered, then the masked account number, the approval number, a reference number, a transaction ID, a validation code, the payment service, and the terminal.
- Items sold and TC number
- The date and time of the sale, the count of items sold, and the TC number, the long transaction code that identifies the receipt in the Walmart app and in an online receipt lookup.

Who Makes a Walmart Receipt
Returns and Expense Claims
Rebuild a lost Walmart receipt so a return within the window or a legitimate expense still has its record.
OCR and App Test Data
The Walmart format is the one most receipt scanners are tested against. Generate consistent slips to check a parser, a budgeting app, or an expense tool.
Budgeting and Teaching
Use a familiar big-box receipt to practice categorizing spend, or to teach reading a receipt line by line.
Film, TV, and Photo Props
Dress a scene with a believable big-box receipt that reads correctly on camera, with no watermark to paint out.
A quick note on the rules: making a receipt shaped file for a mockup, a test, a class, or a lost expense you really paid is fine. Passing one off as proof of a purchase that never happened is fraud. Please do not do that.
FAQ
Walmart Receipt Questions
What Do ST, OP, TE, and TR Mean on a Walmart Receipt?
ST is the store number, OP is the operator or cashier ID, TE is the terminal or register, and TR is the transaction number. Together they point to one sale at one lane in one store, which is what customer service looks up on a return.
What Is the TC Number on a Walmart Receipt?
The TC number is the long transaction code printed near the bottom. It identifies the receipt in the Walmart app and in an online receipt lookup, so it is the number you enter to pull up a past purchase.
Can Walmart Look Up a Receipt I Lost?
Walmart can often find a past purchase from the card used or from an order in the app, within a limited window, and the TC number is the fastest way in when you still have the slip. This template rebuilds your own record, it does not replace that lookup.
Why Is There No Tax Percentage on the Walmart Tax Line?
Many states tax groceries and general merchandise at different rates, so a mixed basket has no single clean rate. The slip prints the tax amount only, which is what this example reproduces.
