The invoice this pays, such as INV-1042.

What was paid for1 line

For a sale. Leave it blank for an invoice payment: its balance due already includes the tax.

PaymentCheck

Leave it blank for the whole total; enter less for a part payment.

Make a receipt with the receipt maker

A receipt is the customer’s proof that you received a payment. The receipt maker turns the payment’s details into a PDF receipt you hand or send yourself, with every amount worked out to the cent.

  1. Say who paid whom

    Enter your business name and contact details, then who the payment is from. Give each receipt its own number, separate from your invoice numbers, so a payment is never confused with a bill.

  2. Say what the payment was for

    For an invoice, enter its number and its balance due as one line; from the invoice generator, Make a receipt carries both over. For a sale, list what was bought with the quantity and price of each, and a tax rate if one applies.

  3. Record the payment, then download

    Enter the date it was paid, how (cash, check, card, bank transfer) and the check number, the card’s last four digits or a transfer reference. Leave the amount received blank for the whole total, or enter a part payment: the receipt shows the remaining balance, or Paid in full.

Fit the receipt to the payment

The receipt maker handles invoice payments, cash sales and part payments. What changes is what you enter as the lines and the amount received.

  • An invoice paid in full

    What to change

    One line, "Payment for invoice INV-1042", at the invoice’s balance due, and its number in For invoice. Leave the amount received blank.

    Before you use it

    The receipt says Paid in full. Keep it with the invoice it settles.

  • A deposit or part payment

    What to change

    The same line at the balance due, and the amount received as what was paid today.

    Before you use it

    The remaining balance is what the customer still owes; the next receipt starts from it.

  • A cash sale

    What to change

    List each item with its quantity and price, add the tax rate if it applies, and choose Cash.

    Before you use it

    Use the tax rate that applies where you sell; the receipt maker does not look up tax.

Check the receipt before you hand it over

  • The receipt number has not been used on another receipt.
  • The date paid and the amount received match the money that arrived.
  • For a card, only the last four digits are on the receipt.
  • For an invoice, its number and balance due match the invoice.
  • The remaining balance is what the customer still owes.

A receipt, not a second invoice

An invoice asks to be paid; a receipt says a payment arrived. The receipt maker prints the date paid, the payment method, who received it and the amount received, never a due date or payment terms, so a customer cannot mistake it for a new bill.

Only the last four digits of a card

For a card payment the receipt takes only the card’s last four digits, as most card receipts show. It has no field for a full card number, a security code or a bank account number.

Made in your browser

The receipt maker builds the preview and the PDF in this browser. It does not send the receipt or record the payment anywhere, so download the PDF or text to keep a copy. An AI answer in the chat sends the receipt’s details with your question.

Questions about this tool

What should a receipt include?

Your business name and contact details, who paid, a receipt number, the date paid, what the payment was for, the amount received, how it was paid and what is left to pay. The receipt maker prints each of these.

What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?

An invoice is sent before payment and asks for it, with a due date. A receipt is given after payment and records it. Make the invoice with the invoice generator and the receipt here when the money arrives.

Can I make a receipt for a partial payment?

Yes. Enter the balance due as the line and what was paid today as the amount received. The receipt shows the remaining balance under the payment.

How do I number my receipts?

Give every receipt its own number in its own series, such as RCPT-0107, and never reuse one. A receipt can name the invoice it pays in For invoice.

Can I put a card payment on a receipt?

Yes. Choose Card and enter only the card’s last four digits. Never write a full card number or security code on a receipt.

Can I add tax to a receipt?

Yes, for a sale: enter the tax rate that applies to it and the receipt adds the tax to the lines. For an invoice payment, leave it blank: the invoice’s balance due already includes its tax.

Is this receipt maker free?

Yes. Fill in the receipt online and download the PDF with no account.

Is a receipt a legal document?

A receipt is a record of a payment that you and the customer keep. The IRS lists receipts among the records that support your business income and expenses, so keep a copy of each one you give.
