    Invoice payment receipt

    Hi All

    I have a customer that has asked for a receipt for invoices that have been paid. Most of templates that I can see online are for cash payments rather than direct bank payments. Do any of you issue receipts for paid invoices? If so do you use a template or would a simple email like the below be enough?

    Dear xxxxxxxx

    Thank you for payment of the below invoice.

    Invoice Number: xxxxxxx
    Invoice Date: xx/xx/xxxx
    Invoice total: £xxxxx

    Payment Received: £xxxxx
    Payment Date: xx/xx/xxxx
    Balance to pay: £xxxxx


    Kind Regards

    xxxxxxxxxx

    Never heard of it before.

    Why would anyone except your customer know what is acceptable to them? Have you asked them?

    The example you propose looks suspiciously like a statement of account. Do you have an accounts package that can produce these monthly? That would be the best bet. If not you will have to make it up and I guess an email would be as good as anything.

      Only for cash sales.

      But if they want it, then what you have suggested looks fine to me.

        Take a look at Zoho invoicing. I had been working with spreadsheets until I discovered it - and its free for the basic package which does everything you are likely to need + it has a mobile app

          I don't see a need for anything complicated. The table you suggested should be perfectly acceptable.
