Proof savedFictional record

This is a fictional example, not a customer record.

From checkout to your account

Three steps. No app download.

01

Buy something

Pay as usual at a participating store.

02

Scan or tap

Use the QR code the store shows you, or tap its Provenance sticker.

03

Save the Proof

Sign in or create an account. You do not need an app.

Proofs are available only from participating stores.

Why keep a Proof

A Proof keeps the purchase and later updates together.

01

Recorded after payment

The store’s checkout system must mark the sale complete before Provenance can issue the Proof.

02

Changes are added, not erased

A refund or correction appears below the purchase with its own date.

03

Easy to find

Search by store, item, date, amount or sale reference.

04

Private until you share

A saved Proof is not public. You choose when to share information from it.

Fictional example

Four years with one bicycle.

This is not a customer record. It shows how one bicycle’s purchase, return, service, transfer and warranty records could appear over time.

  1. Purchase recorded

    A bicycle and pannier rack from Prairie Lantern Cycles. The customer saved the Proof at the counter.

  2. Pannier rack returned

    The store added a CAD 100.00 refund. The purchase above did not change.

  3. Service entry added

    The owner added a record of work on the bicycle. Provenance did not verify the work.

  4. Bicycle transferred

    The second owner received the shared bicycle history. The first buyer’s private Proof stayed private.

  5. Records shared for a warranty claim

    The owner shared the purchase and service records. Provenance did not decide whether the claim was covered.

For customers

Find a purchase when you need it.

Save Proofs from participating stores and search by store, item, date, amount or reference. You decide what to share. A Proof does not by itself establish authenticity, ownership, warranty coverage or return rights.

For merchants

Does your store use one of these checkout systems?

We are speaking with Calgary shops that use:

  • Shopify
  • Square
  • Clover
  • Lightspeed X-Series

Before a shop joins, we test its checkout connection and how customers save Proofs at the counter.

Practical questions

Common questions.

Can I use Provenance today?

Provenance is in private development and is not generally available yet.

Which stores participate?

Only stores that have connected and enabled Provenance can issue Proofs. Participating stores will tell customers when a Proof is available.

Do I need an app?

No. A Proof opens in your browser. You sign in or create an account when you choose to save it.

What does a Proof establish?

It records purchase facts from a participating store’s completed sale. By itself, it does not establish authenticity, ownership, warranty coverage or return rights.

Who can see a saved Proof?

Your saved Proof is private by default. You choose when to share selected information from it.
