Receipt questions, answered

Quick answers for small shops, stalls and freelancers.

What should a receipt include?
  • Your business name and contact details
  • A receipt number and the date
  • Each item, with quantity and price
  • Any tax and discount, and the final total
  • How the customer paid
What's the difference between a receipt and an invoice?

An invoice asks for payment and is sent before or when payment is due. A receipt confirms that payment has already been made. If a customer pays later, send an invoice first and a receipt once they pay.

Is this receipt generator free and private?

Yes. It's free, needs no account, and runs entirely in your browser. Your receipt details are never sent to a server. Only your business name, contact, currency and note are remembered on your own device so you don't retype them.

How do I get my receipt as a PDF?

Click "Download PDF". The file is created on your device and saved straight to your downloads. You can then print it, email it, or send it on WhatsApp.

Can I print on a thermal receipt printer?

Yes. Pick 58mm or 80mm to match your paper roll, download the PDF, then print it from your PDF viewer at actual size. Use A4 for a regular office printer. "Print directly" is also there if you prefer to skip the file.

Is this receipt valid for tax purposes?

This tool makes a clear, professional receipt for your records and customers. Some countries require VAT-registered businesses to issue receipts through an approved system, so check the rules with your local tax authority.

How long should I keep my receipts and sales records?

The required period depends on your country and business type, so confirm it with your tax authority or an accountant. As a habit, keep a copy of every receipt you issue, either printed or saved as PDF.
