Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a receipt be?

A narrow continuous format, roughly 80mm wide, which is what thermal receipt printers use. Choose the narrowest page option for a realistic receipt.

Does it calculate the total?

Yes. Line items, tax, tip and total are computed from what you enter.

Can I record a payment method?

Yes — cash, card, transfer or whatever applies, which is the field an auditor checks first on a receipt.

Should receipts be sequential?

They should be, if you are issuing them for accounting. Enter the next number in the series for each receipt you generate.

Is a receipt needed for accounting or tax?

The requirements are jurisdiction-specific. The tool produces a well-formed receipt document, but check what your tax authority actually requires before relying on it.
