Despite the rise of mobile payments, paper receipts aren't going away just yet:

Legal requirements play a big role. Many governments and regulatory bodies still require paper receipts for tax and accounting purposes. In some places, these receipts are considered official legal documents.

Consumer preferences matter. Many people are comfortable with traditional paper receipts and worry about technological failures or digital security.

Not everyone is tech-savvy. Some people don't have smartphones or reliable internet, making mobile payments challenging.

Marketing strategies also keep paper receipts alive. Businesses use them to print coupons, surveys, and special offers, which can attract customers.
