02 — How it works
A receipt closes the loop on a payment — both sides have proof, the invoice is marked paid, and the bookkeeping has a paper trail. This tool generates a clean one in 30 seconds, with the details auditors and tax authorities care about.
Your business as issuer, the payer as recipient. Receipt number and date default to today; override as needed.
Amount received, optional tax line, payment method, transaction reference. Outstanding balance auto-computes if you provide the pre-payment balance.
PDF (single page with branded header, big amount block, payment details, signature) or XLSX for your records. Email straight to the payer.

04 — Common questions
An invoice is a request for payment ("you owe us"); a receipt is acknowledgement of payment ("we got it"). The invoice goes out first when work is done; the receipt goes out after the client clears it. Many businesses skip the receipt entirely; doing it builds trust and gives both sides clean records.
It varies by jurisdiction. In India, GST-registered businesses must issue a "payment receipt" or "Bill of Supply" for receipts above certain thresholds. In the US, businesses are required to provide receipts on request. In the EU, receipts are part of VAT-compliant invoicing. The safe answer: yes, always issue one — it costs nothing and the audit trail is invaluable.
Optional. If you enter how much the client owed before this payment, the receipt shows the remaining balance after. Useful for partial payments where the invoice isn't fully cleared. The PDF will say "Balance remaining: …" or "PAID IN FULL" depending.
For GST/VAT-applicable receipts, yes — show net amount and tax separately. For cash-receipt-only situations (rent, deposits, refunds), often no. The tool defaults to including a tax line; uncheck if not needed.
A one-line description of what the payment was for — "Part payment against invoice INV-2026-0241", "May 2026 rent", "Security deposit for 6-month lease", etc. It's what the receipt is actually acknowledging.
