Receipt Generator
Confirm a payment with a professional receipt, itemized line items, and payment details. Add your logo and export a polished PDF — free, no signup.
After payment is received
Once a client pays an invoice made with the Invoice Generator, confirm it with a receipt here. If you need to correct the original invoice instead — for a return, refund, or overcharge — use the Credit Memo Generator.
Frequently asked questions
Should I issue a receipt or an invoice?
Issue an invoice to request payment for work not yet paid. Issue a receipt once payment has already been received — it confirms what was paid, when, and how, rather than asking for money.
What should a receipt include for the payer’s recordkeeping?
A useful receipt shows the seller’s name and contact details, the date paid, an itemized description of what was purchased, the amount and payment method, and a receipt number. Payers should keep receipts as part of their own business records — see IRS Publication 583 for general guidance on what businesses should retain to substantiate income and expenses.
