Abstract

A QR code on a receipt or invoice for a transaction facilitates a verified review for the transaction. The QR code or similar code contains information regarding the transaction and is printed on a review or invoice, such that a user wishing to write a review can scan the printed code such as with a camera and an app on a smartphone. The printed QR code comprises an encoded reference to a purchase and allows the user to employ the app (and/or a network-based service supporting the review app) to verify that a review has not yet been published for the purchase, and to compose a verified review for the purchase. The user may further select one or more review sites on which to publish the verified review, such as Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and the like, and publish the verified review on the selected review sites.
