Anyone not receiving in app purchase receipts from Apple?

I get the confirmation email of purchase but although the email address is correct I don’t receive the receipt by email after several days. I know I can look at purchase history. However I need the receipts.


I know the email address in Apple ID is correct and I used to receive them but they have stopped. There is nothing in spam or junk. My ISP has not blacklisted the address. I do receive the confirmation of purchase from iTunes after the purchase but not the receipt.


I have spoken to support and they even looked at things remotely. They are still investigating.


Does anyone have this problem?

iPad Air, iOS 13

I have the same problem since October 2019.


Try this on iPhone:

  1. Open the Settings app. 
  2. Tap your name, then tap iTunes & App Store.
  3. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. You might be asked to sign in.
  4. Scroll to Purchase History and tap it.

Finally tap RESEND

Even when receipts were working, I wasn't a big fan of Apple's payment system anyway. Most everything else I purchase from online, gives you a receipt instantly, and the charge shows up instantly. Apple's has always been: You pay, and then in certain number of days, you see your charge / receipt. It's always worked fine, it's just the way. Apple does certain things compared to the majority of others that irritates me at times. As far as my last purchase, everything is complete. Just waiting now for them to fix the automated receipts problem.

Apple isn’t publicly announcing there is a problem with receipts. Like they won’t admit all your photos & videos coming from iCloud are no longer in chronological order on devices. There customer service is horrible calling & going to store in person. Receipts just are icing on topping. Apple gets too much money & has no respect for money their paid to even send customers receipts.

Same issue on my side.


I stopped receiving the usual receipt that I need for each iTunes Store purchase.


It is possible to browse the purchase history and manually force a resending but this is very inconvenient and cumbersome.

It is moreover a "security" issue as I would expect to be informed if a purchase is made on my behalf.

Same issue. Last invoice is 30. 10. 2019, to this day nothing else, not even icloud drive or apple music payment. The only email I get id confirmation of purchase so that I can’t refund it within 14 days, but that’s all, no invoice at all. Hope they can at least address this issue publicly so we know iťs their fault.

I too am having this problem! Stupid Apple... they ask us to go into iTunes/Music to see our purchases and if you use your iPhone, it does not show the actual amount - the tax is missing. Which makes it hard b/c when you balance against your bank account statements you need to actual total amount! I would really like to receive Apple receipts via email.

Hey all, I have a problem that I was curious if maybe tied into this problem, so while it's not exactly on topic I'm still going to ask in case anyone else has experienced this since the receipts problem started.


The Problem is: I have about 4 specific albums which won't load the contents in the music apple on Apple TV, 4, and 4K. The album contents load fine from the Mac either iTunes, or Music, and Music on iOS. Both Apple TVs are running TVOS 13.3, and the Mac is running Catalina 10.15.2, and the iPhone / iPad are on the corresponding 13.3 version of the os.


The Problem I have on the Apple TV(s) is when clicking on the albums to view the contents, I simply get the white screen with a spinning gear, and nothing loads. I've tried a restore / update on both units in case it was bad cache / data, and to ensure I had a clean install of the latest TVOS, however the problem persists, but only with those particular albums.


What's strange is, two of them were purchased before the receipts issue started, 2 were purchased after.


Also, the albums will play via Music on Apple TV either buy requires of Siri, or simply selecting the album, and pressing the Play button on the Siri remote. The issue is simply not being able to load the album info.


Was wondering if anyone else here has experienced this, and if you were able to resolve it. I haven't figure out how to, yet.


Thanks.
