When you receive a payment from a customer, especially if the payment is in cash, you may be asked to provide a receipt. A receipt could be just a statement written out by hand or torn out of a receipt book that you purchase from your office supply company. But, you can also create and print your own customized receipt forms using our free receipt templates.

Note: If you are using an invoice template to bill your customers, you don't need a separate receipt template. You could just stamp or write "Paid" in big letters on a copy of the Invoice.
