About the Receipt Generator
Receipt vs invoice
An invoice requests payment. A receipt acknowledges that payment has been made. If a client asks for 'proof of payment', they need a receipt, not another invoice.
What a good receipt shows
The payer's name, the amount, the date the money was received, the payment method (cash, bank transfer, card, UPI, PayPal, etc.) and a reference (often the original invoice number). Keep it short — receipts should fit on a single page.
Do you need receipts if you already have bank records?
For your accounting, bank records are usually enough. But your clients still need receipts for their own bookkeeping — many will require one before releasing the next tranche of work.
