That's a difficult problem to solve. Nevermind the OCR issues surrounding different store's receipts, the line item descriptions are so varied and atrocious, it would be a very large undertaking to match them against Instacart's existing product database.

Good idea, just hard to execute, and I'm not sure it would have a sufficient payoff to be worth it.




Not if they did a partnership with a store to match line item data back to products.
