What Is a Receipt Template?
A receipt confirms that a payment has already been made — unlike an invoice, which requests payment. Use it to give a customer proof of purchase, or to keep your own record of a transaction that's complete.
How to Use This Template

Tips
- Always include the payment method (cash, card, transfer) so both sides have a clear record.
- Give receipts a unique number if you issue more than a handful — it makes future lookups easier.
- Issue a receipt immediately after payment is received, not days later.
- Keep a copy for your own bookkeeping, especially for tax-deductible purchases.
