Thank you for your payment.
Add your business name first. A receipt needs to say who issued it.
A receipt says the money arrived
Receipt, not invoice
It shows the date paid, how it was paid and a zero balance. If you’re still waiting for the money, use the invoice generator instead.
Tax worked out either way
Prices with tax included or tax added on top. The receipt shows the amount before tax and the tax itself, under whatever name your country uses.
Numbered and named
Every receipt carries your business name and a receipt number, so you and your customer can match it to a payment later.
Before you hand it over
What's the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice asks to be paid: it lists what's owed and when it's due. A receipt proves you were paid: it records the amount, the date and how it was paid. If the money hasn't arrived yet, you want an invoice.
What should a receipt include?
Your business name and contact details, a receipt number, the date paid, who paid, what they paid for, the amount, any tax included, and how they paid. If you're registered for VAT or GST, add your tax number.
Can my customer use this receipt to claim tax back?
It depends on where you are. Many VAT and GST countries ask for a tax invoice, or a simplified one with set details, before a business can reclaim tax, at least above a certain amount. If your customers reclaim tax, check what your country requires.
Should the prices include tax?
Use whichever matches what the customer saw. Shops usually show prices with tax included, so tick the box and the receipt works out the tax inside the total. Untick it if tax was added on top.
Is it really free? Is my data uploaded?
Yes, and no. There's no account, no watermark and no limit. The receipt is built in your browser and saved as a PDF on your device, so nothing is sent to Clearline.
