How to write a receipt of payment

A receipt of payment confirms that a payment has already been received. It is proof for both sides: the client has evidence they paid, and you have a record for your books. Add your details and the payer's, note what was paid for and how, then download the payment receipt as a PDF and send it once the payment lands. For a written walkthrough with a sample layout, see our guide on how to write a payment receipt.

  1. Add your business details and the payer's name and contact information.
  2. Give the receipt a unique number and set the payment date.
  3. List what was paid for, with a description and the amount, and select the payment method used.
  4. Link the related invoice number if there is one, then download the PDF and send it to the payer.

What to include on a payment receipt

  • A unique receipt number and the date payment was received.
  • Your business details and the payer's name.
  • A description of what was paid for, and the amount.
  • The payment method (cash, card, bank transfer) used.
  • A reference to the original invoice number, if the payment relates to one.

Receipt vs invoice: what is the difference

An invoice asks for payment. A receipt confirms payment has already happened. Send the invoice when work is delivered, then send the receipt once the money actually arrives, they are not interchangeable, and a client may ask for both.
