Payment Receipts – Transparent, Professional & Reliable

How Are Payment Receipts Different from Invoices?

While both invoices and payment receipts are important financial documents in a repair business, they serve different purposes. An invoice is a detailed bill that includes: Device and service details, Parts used, Total balance due, Payment received (if any), Customer and business information On the other hand, a payment receipt is a confirmation of a specific payment made—whether it’s a full payment, partial payment, or an online transaction. It doesn’t show pending balances or service breakdowns; instead, it simply acknowledges the amount paid, method of payment, and receipt status. In short: Invoice = what is owed or was owed, Receipt = proof of what was paid This distinction helps maintain accurate records in your repair shop software and improves financial transparency for both your business and your customers.
