What is a Receipt?

A receipt is proof of payment issued by a seller after a transaction has been completed. Unlike an invoice (which requests payment), a receipt confirms that payment has already been received. Receipts are used for expense tracking, tax records, warranties, and customer confidence.

How to use the Receipt Generator

  1. 1

    🏢 Enter your store / business details

    Fill in your business name and address at the top. For point-of-sale receipts, this is typically your store name and location.

  2. 2

    🔢 Confirm the receipt number

    A unique receipt number auto-increments for each new receipt (e.g. RCT-001, RCT-002). This is your audit trail.

  3. 3

    💳 Set payment method

    Select how the buyer paid — Cash, Credit Card, Bank Transfer, Mobile Money, etc. This appears on the receipt for record-keeping.

  4. 4

    ➕ Add items sold

    List each item with its description, SKU code (optional), quantity, and rate. The total calculates automatically.

  5. 5

    💵 Enter amount tendered (optional)

    For cash transactions, enter the amount the customer handed over. The generator will automatically calculate and display the change due.

  6. 6

    🖨️ Download Standard or Thermal PDF

    Click "Download PDF" for an A4 receipt, or toggle the "Thermal (80mm)" switch to generate a compact receipt optimised for thermal printers.
