What to put on a receipt
- Your business name and contact details
- Receipt number and the date of payment
- What was paid for, with quantities and prices
- Tax, if you charged it
- The payment method (cash, card, check, Zelle…)
- The amount paid
Receipts for cash and informal payments
When a customer pays cash or through an app like Venmo or Zelle, a receipt is often the only proof of payment for both of you. It also helps you keep clean records for taxes.
Frequently asked questions
Is InvoiceCrisp really free?
Yes. You can create and download unlimited invoices, estimates and receipts for free, with no sign-up. The free version uses the Classic template and adds a small "Created with InvoiceCrisp" line at the bottom. Pro removes it and adds more templates, saved clients and history.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your browser, on your device. Your business details, clients and invoices are never uploaded to our servers. Use "Back up data" to keep a copy or move it to another computer.
Can I turn an invoice into a receipt?
Yes. Change the document type to Receipt and the same details are used, with the amount marked as paid. With Pro, one click on a saved invoice creates the receipt and marks the invoice as paid.
