FROM TEMPLATE TO DOWNLOAD
How to make a cash receipt
Open the matching template
Select Customize cash receipt above. In Business & logo, update the heading, address and logo. Set the date and reference in Receipt details.
Record a cash sale and change
Enter the items and any applicable adjustments first. In Payment, choose Cash and enter the amount actually received; check change or balance due.
Check and download
Review every line and the payment total. Select Download, choose your paper size and PNG or PDF, then download the watermarked file. Save an editable draft if you want to return later.
UNDERSTAND THE FORMAT
Reading this receipt
The Sale, Counter fields provide context for this example. These text fields are entered separately from the quantities and prices that calculate the amount.
Quantity and unit price appear in separate columns, so each charge can be checked before reviewing the total.
A useful starting tip
Enter the actual cash received in Payment. Change is calculated from the total; a short payment shows a balance due.
GOOD TO KNOW
Cash receipt questions
What happens if the cash received is too low?
The receipt shows a balance due. For the $25.00 sample, $30.00 received gives $5.00 change, while $20.00 received leaves $5.00 due.
Which file formats can I download?
Download a PNG image or a PDF with selectable text. Both use the same receipt data and include a watermark on the free plan.
Can I change the paper size?
Choose 58 mm, 80 mm or A4 in Appearance. Preview long descriptions at the size you intend to use, and match your printer settings when printing.
Can I save this receipt and edit it later?
Use Save draft to download an editable file to your device. Open draft restores that file. ReceiptLab does not automatically save your work.
