Log your first transaction

Transactions are the units your P&L is built from. Each one is income or expense, tagged to exactly one project (or split across projects on Business tier).

Three ways to log a transaction

1. Manual entry (all plans)

1. Click the + button in the bottom-right corner of any screen.
2. Choose Income or Expense.
3. Fill in: amount, description, project, category, date, vendor (for expenses), notes.
4. Optional: attach a receipt photo or PDF. It'll upload to secure storage.
5. Click Save. The transaction appears in the list and updates your dashboard.

2. Receipt scan (Pro tier)

1. Click + → Scan receipt.
2. Take a photo or upload an existing image/PDF.
3. Hustlay's AI extracts vendor, amount, date, and category automatically.
4. Review the extracted data, adjust if needed, pick the project, save.

3. Email receipt import (Pro tier)

Two flavors:

• Forward receipts to your private inbox address (something like expense-abc123@in.hustlay.com). Hustlay parses the email + attachment, creates a draft transaction for review.
• Connect Gmail via Settings → Email → Connect Gmail. Hustlay scans your inbox nightly for receipts from known vendors and drafts transactions.
