Frequently asked questions
What should a sales receipt include?
A sales receipt should show your business name and contact, the items or services sold with prices, the total, the payment method, the date and a unique receipt number.
Sales receipt vs invoice — which do I send?
Send an invoice when payment will come later (credit sales); issue a receipt when payment is made on the spot. For an invoice paid immediately, marking it "Paid" can stand in for a receipt.
Do I need a receipt for digital sales?
Yes — most jurisdictions and most customers expect one. Emailing a branded PDF receipt also builds trust and gives the customer something to keep.
Can I print receipts for walk-in customers?
Yes. invoice44 produces printable, branded receipts and works offline, so it suits markets, shops and pop-ups.
