A payment is not always the final payment.

A receipt should answer four questions: who paid, what invoice the payment belongs to, how much was actually received and what balance remains. A deposit receipt can show an open balance without calling the whole job paid.

Keep previous payments separate.

For a fictional $2,400 invoice with a $600 deposit already received, a new $900 payment leaves $900 due. Enter $600 under previous payments and $900 under this payment. Do not include the $900 twice.

Use a useful reference.

A check number or payment-provider confirmation helps match the receipt to your records. Do not put full card numbers, banking credentials or sensitive customer data on the receipt.

When is a job “paid in full”?

This tool uses that label only when the invoice balance reaches zero. Verify your payment records first; generating the document does not verify that a payment settled.
