What is a payment receipt

What is a payment receipt?

A payment receipt is a document a seller issues to confirm that a payment has been received against an invoice or sale. It states the amount paid, the date, the payment method and the invoice it applies to. Unlike an invoice, which requests payment, a receipt acknowledges that payment has been made, giving the customer proof and you a clean record.

How it works

Receive, receipt, reconcile

Paper & Pen issues receipts automatically when payments are recorded, so your invoices and books stay in step.

  • Record a payment against an invoice, full or partial
  • A receipt is generated with the amount, date and method
  • The invoice balance and status update automatically
  • Send the receipt by WhatsApp or email instantly
  • Online payments record and reconcile themselves

Receipt vs invoice

Receipt or invoice?

An invoice is a request for payment, issued before money changes hands. A receipt is confirmation of payment, issued after. A single invoice can have several receipts if the customer pays in instalments. Paper & Pen tracks each payment against the invoice and issues a receipt every time, so partial payments are never lost.
