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.
Does the receipt generator cost anything?
No charge applies in the current release. You can build and download a receipt with no watermark and no card details requested, and without an account. There is no account to create: everything is built and stored in your own browser.
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.
