What to put on a handyman receipt

  1. Your business name and contact details. So the customer can find you for the next job.
  2. A receipt number and the date paid.
  3. What the payment was for. The job and its line items, not just a total.
  4. Sales tax, if you charged it. On its own line.
  5. How they paid. Cash, check number, Zelle, card.
  6. Any warranty. "Work is covered for 1 year" builds trust and brings repeat calls.

Receipt or invoice?

An invoice asks for payment. A receipt confirms you were paid. If the customer pays on the spot, a receipt is all they need. If they pay later, send an invoice first and a receipt once the money arrives. Customers who pay cash especially appreciate one.

Want receipts to send themselves?

In PlainJob, when you mark an invoice paid, your customer's page shows it as paid with the date, and the job moves to your paid list. $39 a month for up to 3 people.

Questions

Is the receipt template really free?

Yes. There's no sign-up and no limit. Fill it in, then print it or save it as a PDF.

Do you save what I type?

No. Everything stays in your browser and nothing is sent to us. If you close the page, the receipt is gone, so save the PDF first.

Do I have to give a handyman customer a receipt?

Rules vary by state and by how the customer pays, but a receipt is good practice either way. It protects you if a payment is ever disputed and gives the customer a record for their files.

What's the difference between a receipt and an invoice?

An invoice asks to be paid. A receipt confirms the payment came in.

How do I save the receipt as a PDF?

Tap Print or save as PDF. On a computer, choose Save as PDF as the printer. On an iPhone, use the share button in the print preview. On Android, choose Save as PDF.
