Everyone knows what a receipt is — but often small businesses can get tripped up on how to write a receipt. Here is the why, what and how of writing receipts using Invoice Simple.
Instead of working hard, we should work smart! The smart thing is to use the right tool for the job, a receipt maker! When you use Invoice Simple's receipt maker you save yourself a lot of time and effort. Here are some of the reasons why:
You’ve already seen how the receipt maker can save you time and keep you organized. Writing a receipt using our online generator couldn’t be easier.

Firstly, our receipt template has been designed and tweaked by expert user experience designers and graphic designers. People who are paid to make products easy to use and beautiful. This means your receipts will look great on mobile, desktop and paper. We've worked on making sure that receipts are always easy to read. This is done by removing any section that's not filled in from the final receipt PDF, as well as keeping the colorized elements minimal.

If at the end of the day you still feel like the receipt maker isn't for you, you can always fall back onto traditional methods. We've created a selection of commonly used free receipt templates to help with that. Any questions or comments? Feel free to reach out to us.
Yes. Click on the logo box in the top right corner. From there, you can either upload the logo for your receipt template, or simply drag and drop it into place. JPEG and PNG images are supported.

If you email your receipt directly from Invoice Simple, we’ll notify you when your customer views the receipt — useful for following up with them later. If you send a link to your customer, they can download or print the receipt from the link.

If your prices already include tax, and you'd like your receipt to show the amount of tax included, then select the Inclusive? checkbox when enabling taxes.
