What a receipt must include

  1. Your business name — who received the payment.
  2. The customer — who paid.
  3. A receipt number — sequential, for both parties’ records.
  4. The date paid — not the invoice date; the day money moved.
  5. What was paid for — line items with amounts, tax shown separately if charged.
  6. Payment method — card, cash, transfer; essential for reconciliation.

Receipts confirm payment; invoices request it. If you’re still chasing the payment, you want an invoice — and if the agreement is sitting in an email, you can skip the typing entirely. The full comparison is in invoice vs. receipt.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a receipt?
A receipt needs six things: your business name, the customer's name, a receipt number, the date, what was paid for with the amount, and the payment method. Enter those in the receipt maker above and download the PDF — it takes about a minute and doesn't require an account.
Is this receipt maker really free?
Yes — no account, no email gate, no watermarked preview. The PDF carries a small 'Powered by MailToInvoice' footer line, and that's the entire cost.
What's the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice is a request for payment sent before the money moves; a receipt is proof of payment issued after. Same line items, different job — the invoice shows a due date, the receipt shows the paid date and payment method.
Do I legally have to give customers a receipt?
Rules vary by jurisdiction and industry, but issuing receipts is standard practice and customers routinely need them for expense claims and taxes. If you charge sales tax or VAT, showing it on the receipt is generally expected.
Can I make a receipt for a cash payment?
Yes — choose 'Cash' as the payment method. A written receipt matters most for cash, since there's no bank record; both parties should keep a copy.
Can receipts be generated automatically when clients pay?
Yes. If you invoice through MailToInvoice, receipts go out automatically to you and your client the moment the Stripe payment link is paid — no manual step.
