Invoice, quotation, or receipt?
A quotation offers a price before work starts. An invoice requests payment once the work is done. A receipt confirms that payment arrived. Most jobs use all three, in that order. Read the full comparison.

FAQ
What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice requests payment; a receipt confirms payment was made. The invoice comes first and creates the obligation, the receipt closes it. Many businesses issue both for the same transaction.
Do I have to give a customer a receipt?
It depends on where you trade and what you sell. Many jurisdictions require a receipt on request, and some require one for every sale above a threshold. Issuing one is good practice regardless, because it settles disputes about whether payment was made.
What should a receipt include?
Your business name and contact details, the customer, a unique receipt number, the date payment was received, what was paid for, the amount paid, the payment method, and any tax shown separately.
Can I turn an invoice into a receipt?
Yes. Switch the document type to Receipt in the builder and the details carry across, so you can record the payment against the same line items rather than retyping them.
Is the receipt generator free?
Yes. Receipts export to PDF with no signup, and documents stay in your browser by default.
