# `receipt` removed from OrderTransaction GraphQL Admin API

As of **2024-04**, `OrderTransaction.receipt` will be removed from the Admin GraphQL API. The field has been deprecated since 2019-04 and is replaced by `OrderTransaction.receiptJson`

Both fields contains the same data but in different formats. `receipt` was returning a Ruby hash formatted as a string, while `receiptJson` is returning JSON.

Standardizing around JSON-formatted receipts will make it easier for developer to build consistent integrations and removing duplicate fields will simplify our API.

Learn more about the change in the [OrderTransaction GraphQL API documentation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-04/objects/OrderTransaction)
