When to give a receipt
An invoice asks for money. A receipt proves it arrived. Customers ask for receipts for their own tax records, for expense claims at work and for warranty claims, and cash jobs almost always need one on the spot.
- After a cash or card payment on the job
- When a customer pays a deposit, so both of you have proof of it
- When an invoice is paid and the customer wants a paid copy
- For a part payment, showing what is still owing
What a good receipt shows
Keep it simple and complete. The preview fills these in as you type.
- Your business name and tax number
- A receipt number of its own, so it is easy to find later
- The date the money arrived and how it was paid
- What the payment was for, line by line or as one line
- The tax included, where you charge it
- The amount paid and any balance still owing
- The invoice it pays, if there was one

Good to know
What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice asks to be paid and shows the due date. A receipt confirms the payment arrived, with the date and how it was paid.
Can I make a receipt for a part payment?
Yes. Type the amount paid under Amount paid. The receipt shows the payment and the balance still owing, and the Paid in full mark only appears when nothing is left.
Do I need a receipt number?
It is good practice. A number of its own makes each receipt easy to find and match to your bank. The maker counts up from REC-0001 for you.
Can I make a receipt from an invoice I made here?
Yes. In the invoice maker, press Make a receipt for this invoice. The receipt opens with the same client and items and the invoice number as the reference.
Where is my receipt saved?
Only in this browser, on this device. Download the PDF to keep a permanent copy. Nothing is uploaded.
