Abstract
An online concierge system sends an order associated with a customer to a shopper for fulfillment at a store. The order specifies an ordered amount of an item. The online concierge system receives an image of a receipt for the order from the shopper after fulfillment of the order, applies an image processing algorithm to identify the item in the image of the receipt, and identifies a measured quantity within the image. The measured quantity represents an actual amount of the item purchased at the store. The online concierge system determines a difference between the actual amount and the ordered amount of the item, and determines an amount to be charged or reimbursed to the customer based in part on the difference between the actual amount and the ordered amount of the item.
