It has the payer, the date and method, what the payment was for with the invoice number, the amount received and the balance remaining, plus a signature line for cash.

Questions
Can I make a receipt on my iPhone?
Yes, with this PDF in the Files app: open, tap the fields, type, then share. For frequent receipts, an app that marks an invoice paid and sends the receipt automatically is faster.
Why can't I type into the PDF?
Email and browser previews often do not support form fields. Download the file and open it in Preview, Adobe Reader, Chrome or the Files app.
Should I send the receipt as a PDF or a photo?
PDF. It is readable, searchable and accepted by expense systems; a photo of a paper receipt is a fallback.
Is this receipt template free?
Yes, no email, no watermark. Published by the makers of the Avo invoice app; the footer mentions the site and nothing else.
