How to Create a Receipt

  4. Review the live receipt preview, then download and print or share the PDF.

What to Include on a Payment Receipt

A useful business receipt identifies the seller and payer, a unique receipt number, issue and payment dates, the goods or services, currency, and payment method. Show the amount received separately from the total due. Add a transaction reference or related invoice number when it helps reconcile your records. This online receipt generator supports USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD, percentage or fixed discounts, and tax on the discounted subtotal.

Receipt vs Invoice

An invoice asks a customer to pay; a receipt records a payment you have received. Use the free Invoice Generator to request payment, then create a receipt here when the payment arrives. A partial-payment receipt must show the actual amount received and the remaining balance. Browse our business document guides for help keeping clear records.

When to Use a Payment Receipt

Use a payment receipt after receiving cash for a service, a bank transfer for completed work, or a deposit toward a larger project. This receipt maker provides one editable receipt template with your logo and branding. Your draft stays on this device; download the receipt PDF before clearing browser storage.
