What is a payment receipt?
A payment receipt is a document issued after payment is received, confirming that a transaction has been completed. Unlike an invoice (which requests payment), a receipt confirms payment has been made. Receipts are essential for both the business record and the customer proof of purchase.
Receipt vs invoice — key differences
An invoice is issued before payment, requesting the customer to pay. A receipt is issued after payment, confirming it was received. A receipt typically has the amount marked as PAID, while an invoice shows the amount due. For recurring services, you may issue an invoice first and then a receipt when payment is confirmed.
PAID vs NOT PAID status
The receipt generator lets you choose between a green PAID stamp (confirming payment received) and a red NOT PAID stamp (for tracking outstanding payments or advance receipts before payment clears). This visual distinction makes payment status immediately clear without reading the full document.
