What is a receipt?
A receipt confirms that a payment has been made. It is issued after money changes hands, so it shows an amount paid rather than an amount due.
Receipts give your customer proof of purchase and give you a clean record for your books.
Receipt vs invoice
An invoice requests payment; a receipt confirms it was received. You typically send an invoice first, then issue a receipt once the customer pays.
What a receipt should show
Your business name and contact details.
A receipt number and the date of payment.
What was paid for, itemised.
The total amount paid and the payment method.
Common questions
What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms payment was made. The receipt shows the amount paid, not an amount due.
Do I need to add tax to a receipt?
If the sale was taxed, show the tax so the receipt matches the original invoice. Pick your country to apply the right tax label.
Can I issue a receipt for a partial payment?
Yes. Record the amount actually paid and note the balance still outstanding, so both you and the customer have a clear record of what remains.
Do I have to give a receipt?
Customers often need one as proof of purchase for their own records, expenses, or tax. Issuing a receipt after payment is good practice and expected in most business dealings.
Is it really free?
Yes. Create and download as many documents as you like, with no account, no trial, and no watermark on the document itself.
