Kapanlagi.com - For those who often 'dive' into Instagram or Twitter accounts, you might be aware of the shopping receipt-like posts circulating on your timeline. The first question that comes to mind is probably something like, why are they uploading shopping receipts? Wait a minute, if you pay attention carefully, those uploads contain playlists or lists of songs known as Receiptify.
Wait, how can a receipt contain a list of songs? How do you make it? Don't imagine that the person posting will make the effort to edit each list of their songs, but you can make it yourself automatically on the website accessible through Herokuapps. So, what is Receiptify actually?

Receiptify is currently trending among music lovers on social media. The content itself is in the form of a shopping receipt-like image that contains a list of the user's favorite songs on Spotify. So, the list included in Receiptify consists of the songs that the user plays most frequently.
Although Receiptify can gather a list of the songs you listen to most frequently on your Spotify account, this feature is not built-in to the music streaming application. On the website, Receiptify's content is created by Michelle Liu, who was inspired by the Instagram account @albumreceipt.
2. How to Create Receiptify

1. Open the browser on your smartphone, go to the page receiptify.herokuapps.com.

3. Hey, Be Aware of the Risks!
Even though it's trending, there's also no harm in being cautious about the risks you might experience.
