Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic receipt server includes a communication interface, a storage device, and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive advertisement setting information from a setter terminal via the communication interface, store the advertisement setting information in the storage device, store electronic receipt information in the storage device, and receive a request for an electronic receipt from a user terminal via the communication interface. The processing circuit identifies a company code associated with the requested electronic receipt, then acquires the advertisement setting information associated with the company code in the storage device and determines whether the advertisement setting information indicates company-specific advertisements are enabled for the company code. The processing circuit then acquires a company-specific advertisement when the advertisement information indicates company-specific advertisements are enabled for the company code and outputs the acquired company-specific advertisement with the electronic receipt to the user terminal.
