What goes on a receipt

A receipt is proof that a payment was made, so it shows what was paid for, how much, when, and how. Customers use it for expense claims and tax deductions, which is why most need your business name and, where you charge VAT or GST, your tax number and the tax amount shown separately. Unlike an invoice it has no due date: the payment already happened.

Field	Tip
Receipt number	Unique and sequential, like invoices. If it settles an invoice, mention the invoice number in the notes.
Date	The day the payment was received. Not the day you write the receipt, if they differ.
Payment method	Cash, card, bank transfer, PayPal... For cards, the last 4 digits are enough; never the full number.
Tax	Show the rate and the amount. Customers need it to reclaim VAT/GST; leave it empty if you don't charge any.

Generate receipts from your app

Sending receipts from code? Keep the receipt as an HTML template and send it to the Shotmint PDF API: you get the same Chromium output as this page, with your own fonts and CSS, and no headless browser to run. The HTML to PDF invoices guide has a full template with page breaks for long item lists. The short version:

curl -X POST 'https://shotmint.creasework.com/v1/pdf' \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SHOTMINT_KEY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"html":"<h1>Invoice 2026-001</h1><p>Total: $120.00</p>","format":"A4","margin":"15mm"}' \
  -o invoice.pdf

Each PDF is 1 credit; the first 25 a month are free with a key.

FAQ

Is it really free? Yes, and there is no watermark on the receipt. You can download 5 PDFs a day without a key; past that, the Print button still works (choose "Save as PDF" in the print dialog).

Do you keep my receipts? No. The form is saved only in your own browser (localStorage) so your details are filled in next time. The receipt is sent once to render the PDF and is not stored. "Start over" clears everything.

Is the PDF text searchable? Yes. It is a real text PDF, so your customer's accounting software can read the numbers and you can copy them back out.

What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt? An invoice asks for payment and has a due date; a receipt confirms a payment already made. Use the invoice generator to bill first, then this page once you're paid.

Can I make a rent or cash receipt? Yes. Put "Rent for May 2026" (or whatever was paid for) as the item, set the payment method to Cash or Bank transfer, and add the property address or period in the notes.
