What are the different types of receipts?

There are different types of receipts that are used in different scenarios:

1. Cash receipt

A cash receipt is used when you’ve sold something and the customer pays in cash. As the seller you issue a receipt to your customer to acknowledge that the cash payment was received. It’s a vital proof of payment.

2. Payment receipt

A payment receipt, also called a sales receipt, is used to show that a payment was made. A payment receipt can be used for online or in-person payments cash, card, bank transfer or other means, in order to document that the products or services were paid for.

3. Delivery receipt

A delivery receipt shows that goods were ordered to be shipped to the buyer. The buyer has to sign the delivery receipt when they receive the items so that it serves as proof that the items were delivered.

4. Expense receipt

An expense receipt is used by employers to record their expenditures on behalf of the business. Expense receipts serve as proof of purchase so that the employee can reclaim their money.

Issuing receipts for sales is also a sign of a serious business.
