Clean proof of payment in seconds
When money changes hands you often need to hand back a receipt — proof that a specific amount was paid, by whom, to whom, when, and how. This builder produces a tidy receipt with all of those details plus a unique receipt number and a transaction reference, so both parties have a clear record. It works for cash, card, bank transfer, cheque, or any other method.
How it works
The tool assembles a structured receipt from your inputs and formats the amount in your chosen currency. The core fields are:
- Receipt number — a unique identifier you can sequence (e.g.
RCPT-0001). - Payer and payee — both sides of the transaction.
- Amount, method, date — the essential facts of the payment.
- Reference — a cheque number, bank transaction ID, or order number for traceability.
- Description — what the payment was for, plus any balance remaining.
A “Paid in full” toggle adds a clear statement that no balance remains. Everything renders into a copyable, printable plain-text receipt.
Tips and example
- For a rent receipt, set the description to “Rent for June 2026” and use the reference field for the lease ID.
- For a deposit, untick “Paid in full” and note the remaining balance in the description, e.g. “Deposit; £200 balance due on delivery”.
- Keep your receipt numbers sequential so they double as a simple log of payments received.
- Print two copies — one for the payer and one for your own records.
