What a receipt is for
A receipt is proof that a payment was made. It names the seller, the date, what was bought, the amount paid and how. People use receipts for rent paid in cash, sales at a market stall, school or club fees, deposits and repairs. Having one protects both sides if a question comes up later.
This page is for personal and small business records. It is a plain layout with your own details. It does not copy any company’s design, and it should never be used to make a receipt that pretends to come from someone else. A receipt you make here is only as trustworthy as the person who issues it.
Receipt or invoice?
An invoice asks for payment that is still due. A receipt confirms that payment has been received. If you need to give a price before any work starts, use a quotation. Many small businesses use all three, with a matching number on each so records are easy to find.
Tips
- Use a new number for each receipt, such as RCT-0001, RCT-0002.
- Add the payment method so there is no doubt how it was paid.
- Print at actual size on a small label printer, or send the PDF by message.
- To attach photos of the goods, combine them into one file with Images to PDF.
- Large logos can be made smaller with the image resizer before you add them.
