User Guide
Add your details and logo
Fill in who the receipt is from and who it is for. The Logo button places your own image at the top, and Remove clears it again — a logo is the single thing that most changes whether a receipt looks like a business document or a form someone filled in.
Set the currency
Seven are available: Indian Rupee, US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar and UAE Dirham. The symbol applies throughout, so totals and line items always agree.
Enter the line items
Add a row per item with its description, quantity and price. Add item creates as many rows as you need and the arithmetic updates as you type, so the total is never something you have to work out and retype.
Set the accent colour
The colour picker tints the headings and rules. Matching your brand colour takes a second and makes a noticeable difference to how the finished document reads — particularly if you issue receipts regularly and want them recognisable.
Download or print
Download PDF produces the file to email or file. Print sends it straight to a printer. New receipt clears the items but keeps your business details, which is what you want when issuing several in a row; Reset clears everything.
About the Receipt Generator
A receipt is evidence that money changed hands. Writing one by hand is slow, and building one in a word processor means fighting a table layout every time, which is why most small sellers end up with inconsistent documents.
How the PDF is produced
The receipt you see is ordinary HTML, styled with CSS and updated live as you type. When you press Download, the finished element is rasterised to a canvas by html2canvas and that image is placed into a PDF page by jsPDF, both running in your browser. Nothing is rendered on a server, so no customer name, address or amount is transmitted — which for a document that by definition contains a third party’s details is the right way round.
The consequence worth knowing is that the resulting PDF is an image of the receipt rather than a text layer. It prints and reads identically, but the text inside it cannot be selected or searched. For a receipt that is usually irrelevant and occasionally is not, so it is better stated than discovered.
Receipt or invoice? They are different documents
An invoice requests payment: issued before, stating what is owed. A receipt confirms payment: issued after, stating what was settled. Sending one when the other was asked for causes real confusion in someone’s books. The Invoice Generator on this site covers the other side.
What makes a receipt hold up later
Date, both parties named, a clear itemisation, the total, and the payment method. A sequential number matters more than people expect — it makes a document findable a year later, and gaps in a sequence are the first thing an auditor looks for. If you are registered for a tax with its own documentary rules, check them: India’s GST regime, for instance, prescribes specific fields for a tax invoice, and a general-purpose receipt is not a substitute.
Currency handling
The chosen symbol applies to every line and to the total together, so the document can never disagree with itself — a small thing that is surprisingly easy to get wrong when assembling a receipt by hand.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?
An invoice asks for payment and is sent before. A receipt confirms payment and is issued after. If you have not been paid yet, you want the Invoice Generator instead.
Can I add tax or GST to the receipt?
Add it as its own line item so the amount is stated explicitly rather than buried in a total. For calculating the figure, the GST Calculator on this site works out inclusive and exclusive amounts.
How many items can I add?
As many as you need — Add item keeps creating rows. Very long lists will run onto additional pages in the PDF, which is normal for an itemised receipt.
Is my customer’s data uploaded?
No. The document is built and the PDF generated entirely in your browser, so names, amounts and addresses never leave your device.
Can I reuse my details for the next receipt?
Yes. New receipt clears the line items while keeping your business details, which is the quick path when issuing several in one sitting. Reset clears everything.
Is a generated receipt legally valid?
A receipt is evidence of a transaction, and one you produce is as valid as one from a till, provided it is accurate. Requirements vary by country and by what you are selling, so check local rules if you are registered for a tax that has its own format.
