A receipt is a document that is provided by a business to its customers every time they sell a product or service. Businesses need to issue receipts for every transaction to track their sales and to also use the information whenever they file for tax returns. Furthermore, it is also used as a customer’s proof of purchase to show that the customer did pay for the products or services they obtained. Universally, receipts should have the following details such as the date and time of the purchase, the number of items purchased and price totals, and method of payment. They are either issued digitally or on paper. How the receipt is formatted depends on the business. If you need to create a receipt that you need to issue online, you’ve come to the right place.

How to Issue Receipts

There are various ways to issue a receipt; it can be done electronically or on paper. It can be handwritten or typed.

1. Electronically

Most stores have cash registers that have software that creates codes to automatically make calculations and create a receipt in the registers. They also have built-in printers for producing receipts. Some vendors use digital receipts where they email them to their customers.

2. Paper

If you don’t have a cash register or software to create a digital receipt,  you can create a handwritten receipt in your format or use a receipt book. When using a handwritten receipt, create two copies of the receipt; one for the customer and the other for your recordkeeping). If you plan to create a customized receipt, you can refer to our sample templates above so you can create it on excel or word processors.

Details to Include in a Receipt

Whatever product or service you sell, your receipt should contain the following details:

• Your business’s details including its name, complete address, phone number, and/or email address
• Your business logo or header that you put on top of the receipt
• The transaction data including the date, month, and year
• The list of products or services that shows a brief description of the product and quantity sold to the customer
• The amount of the transaction with the total amount breakdown that shows the net amount, VAT (if it’s added), and any discounts that the customer has used.
• The method of payment by customer (i.e. cash, credit or debit card, etc.)

FAQs

If you’re using a cash register, ensure that you’ve included all the items that the customer purchased before printing out the receipt. Since it automatically calculates the total amount, and the change amount to the money that the customer gave, you don’t need to do any calculations which makes it easier for you. However, if you’re using a handwritten receipt, make sure all the details you’ve input are complete, accurate, and free from errors. If your receipt has several mistakes and you’ve already issued it to the customer, you will face problems and disputes with the customer, so always double-check, especially when you do your calculations. To help you get started making a receipt format for your business, download our free sample templates above to use as your guide!
