Using receipts
It’s all in the timing. An invoice is a request for payment. A receipt is provided after payment has been made. Invoices can also act as receipts, but sometimes a customer may ask for a separate receipt for their records. Receipts are also a handy way to document a non-invoiced cash sale. That’s why we’ve created this receipt template. Looking for an invoice template? We’ve got one of those too.
Check out our free invoice template.Receipts are important for both you and your customers in case they have any issues with a product or want to return or exchange it, and you need to be able to check that their claims are correct. Customers also may need a receipt to prove an expense - for their tax return or for reimbursement.
Save a copy of receipts you send or give customers as proof of goods sold, services rendered, and payment made. Every receipt should include a unique number so it can be easily filed and found.
Using the template
Check what tax rate applied to the sale (if any) and add it to the appropriate boxes. If there was no tax, just leave it blank.
Put the payment details in the boxes provided. These will say how much your customer paid and what method they used. Add your signature if you’re using the template as a receipt for cash sales.
