Items and order details

List products, quantities, unit prices, discounts, and the order reference.

Totals and tax

The complete checklist

  • Seller/business information
  • Receipt number and sale date
  • Customer details when relevant
  • Product description or SKU
  • Quantity
  • Unit price
  • Line total
  • Discount if applicable
  • Sales tax/VAT/GST mode where localized
  • Subtotal
  • Final amount paid
  • Payment method
  • Optional return/order/reference information

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.
