```lua

    log(user.displayName .. ' bought ' .. receiptData.name);
    
    --if the type is gear, color, or action, 
    --that means there will be a ":" in the item name -> block_man:blue
    
    --you can use 
    --local blah = helper.split(receiptData.name, ':'); 
    --then the item name will be. -> blah[2] -> blue
