What Is a Receipt?

A receipt is a document confirming that payment has been received. Unlike an invoice — which requests payment — a receipt is issued after the money has been paid. It gives both the buyer and seller a permanent record of the transaction.

Receipts are essential for deposits, cash transactions, advance payments, and any situation where you need written proof that money changed hands.

Receipt vs Invoice vs Estimate — The Difference

Invoice — Sent before or after work to request payment. Says "you owe me X."
Receipt — Sent after payment is received to confirm it. Says "you paid X, here's your proof."
Estimate — Sent before work begins to outline expected costs. Not a payment request.

When Should You Issue a Receipt?

After receiving a deposit or advance payment
After any cash transaction
