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.
