Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice requests payment before it is made. A receipt confirms payment after it has been made. You send an invoice to ask for money and a receipt to acknowledge you have received it.
Do I need to issue a receipt?
Many customers expect a receipt as proof of payment, and it is good practice for your own records. It is especially useful for cash payments where there is no bank record.
Can I create a receipt from an invoice?
Yes. Convert a paid invoice into a receipt in one click. It carries the original invoice number, the amount and the customer, and records the payment date.
Is the receipt generator free?
Yes, building and downloading a receipt is free, with no watermark and no card details requested.
What should a receipt show?
A receipt should show your business details, the customer, a receipt number, the original invoice reference, the payment date and method, and the amount received. If part-paid, show the remaining balance clearly.
