What's Included in a Payment Receipt

The information needed to acknowledge a completed or partial payment.

Business and payer

Identify the business receiving payment and the customer or organization that paid.

Receipt number and date

Use a unique receipt number and the date the payment was received.

Invoice and payment reference

Connect the receipt to an invoice, booking, deposit, or outstanding balance.

Totals and tax

Review the subtotal, applicable tax, and total amount received.

The complete checklist

  • Business/seller name and contact details
  • Receipt number
  • Payment date
  • Customer/payer name
  • Related invoice, order or reference number
  • Description of what the payment relates to
  • Amount due when useful
  • Amount paid
  • Remaining balance when relevant
  • Applicable tax if the receipt itemizes the transaction
  • Payment method
  • Transaction/reference number
  • Notes

The exact information appropriate for a receipt can vary by country, industry and transaction. The builder should make specialized fields optional or required based on the selected workflow rather than claiming one universal checklist applies everywhere.
