What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice is a request for payment, sent before the money changes hands and showing what is owed and by when. A receipt is proof that payment has been made, given afterwards. The two often list the same items; the receipt simply confirms the amount has been received.

What should a receipt show?

A useful receipt shows who issued it, who paid, the date of payment, a description of what was paid for, the amount, and ideally the payment method. This generator covers each of those, and you can use the notes field for the method or a reference number.

Can I mark it as paid?

A receipt is itself confirmation of payment, so the document is a record that the amount was received on the date shown. You can add the payment method or a transaction reference in the notes so the receipt stands on its own.

Can I add my own logo?

Yes. Click Add logo and choose a PNG or JPG from your device. It appears at the top of the document and in the PDF. Like everything else, the image stays in your browser and is never uploaded.

Neither. The PDF you download is clean and carries no watermark, no advert and no "made with" stamp. There is no account to create and no email wall, open the page and start.
