Frequently Asked Questions
- Invoice vs receipt — what is the difference?
- An invoice requests payment; a receipt confirms payment received. Issue invoices before, receipts after the money arrives.
- Is a generated receipt legally valid?
- As a record of payment between parties, generally yes — but requirements (tax IDs, signatures) vary by country. Add what your jurisdiction demands.
- Should receipts be numbered?
- Yes, sequentially. Numbering prevents duplicates and makes audits painless.
