When to send a receipt
Send one whenever a customer pays you, especially for cash, card-in-person or bank-transfer payments where they don’t otherwise get a record. Businesses need receipts to support expense claims, and in the US the IRS lists receipts among the supporting documents taxpayers should keep for purchases and expenses (IRS: What kind of records should I keep).
Receipt checklist
- Receipt number (use a separate series such as R-0001)
- Date the money arrived
- Your business name and contact details; the payer’s name
- What the payment covers, and the invoice number it settles
- Amount, currency and payment method (add these as custom fields)
- Remaining balance for partial payments

Questions people ask
What should a receipt include?
Who was paid and by whom, the date of payment, what the payment was for, the amount and currency, the payment method, and a receipt number. If it settles an invoice, reference the invoice number.
Is a receipt the same as an invoice?
No. An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms payment was received. See invoice vs receipt for the full comparison.
Can I make a receipt for a partial payment?
Yes. Enter the full amount as line items and the part received under "Amount paid"; the receipt shows the remaining balance.
Can I turn an invoice into a receipt?
Yes. Open the invoice in the generator and press "Receipt (paid)". The line items carry over, the amount paid is filled in and the receipt references the invoice number.
