Create a receipt as proof of payment

A receipt confirms that payment has already been made — the counterpart to an invoice, which requests it. Use this when a customer pays and needs a record for their books or expenses. List what was paid for, mark the amount as paid so the balance shows zero, and download a clean PDF. No sign-up, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.

What a receipt should show

Frequently asked questions

When should I issue a receipt instead of an invoice?

Issue a receipt after a customer has paid — it is proof that money changed hands. An invoice requests payment beforehand. If a client pays and needs a record for their books or expense claim, send a receipt rather than another invoice.

How do I show the receipt as fully paid?

Set the amount paid to equal the total so the balance due shows zero. The document is preset for this, marking it clearly as a receipt with nothing outstanding, which is exactly what a customer needs for their records.

What should a valid receipt include?

It should state that it is a receipt, list what was purchased, and show the amount paid and the date of payment, along with your business and contact details. That gives the customer everything they need for bookkeeping or reimbursement.
