A Receipt is a written acknowledgement that money, property, a document, or anything of value has been received. Receipts serve a key function in bookkeeping and filing taxes by creating a record and proof of a transaction. They also create a record that prevents future disputes about the details of the transaction.
Receipts can be used any time you or your business purchased or sold goods or services, signed a document, or you personally gave something of value to a family member or friend. Details of the Receipt include the date of the transaction, an itemized list of the money or property received, and if the transaction is a full payment for goods or services. You can use this Receipt template to create proof of the transaction for your records.

One of the most important things to know when you're buying and selling goods and services is how to write a receipt. Here’s an overview of the basics of writing a receipt.
Whether you're on the buying end or the selling end of a transaction, it’s a good idea to list everyone involved. Include the seller's and buyer’s information, such as name and/or company's name, contact information, and any other relevant details.
Make a clear list of the inventory, including the quantity of items, condition of the items, and the price paid for each. Also include the method of payment (check, credit/debit card). Payments by check should include the check number, and payments by credit and/or debit cards should include card type, the last four digits, and sometimes the expiration. You should also indicate the number of payments and if the item was picked up or delivered. If paid in full, the receipt should reflect that.
Now that you know the basics of how to write a receipt, we recommend using our Receipt template. This is a basic sales receipt template that's fast, thorough, and easy-to-use, and will save you a lot of time!
