Create a clean, signed PDF receipt in about 30 seconds: type the amount, pick who paid, say what it was for, and send it by WhatsApp, email, or print. Like a cash register: number pad first, everything else optional. Built for tradespeople, freelancers, landlords, tutors, cleaners, small shops, and private sellers who get paid in person. SIX RECEIPT TYPES, ONE SIMPLE FLOW • Standard receipt — number, amount, payer, purpose, place, date, and signature • Partial payment & deposit — total, amount paid, and balance due • Installment plan — "payment 2 of 6" with the full schedule • Rent receipt — property, period, annual statement per tenant (Pro) • Security deposit — clearly marked, no tax line • Private sale — sold-as-seen wording, signatures of both parties QUOTES THAT BECOME RECEIPTS • Customer, line items with tax, valid-until date (30 days by default), payment terms, up to 10 photos, and an optional customer signature line • Awaiting reply, accepted, or declined; expired quotes are flagged automatically • Accepted? One tap creates the receipt: full amount, or a deposit now and the final receipt later, linked to the quote • Own numbering (e.g. QUO-2026-0001); in the free version too, unlimited with Pro GET PAID THE REST • Payment QR code on the receipt: SEPA GiroCode with the balance pre-filled for the payer's banking app, or your PayPal or Venmo link FAST BY DESIGN • Amount first on a big number pad, net/gross breakdown, amount in words added automatically • Payers from your contacts or saved list, recent ones on top • Reusable purposes and optional line items • Sequential numbering (e.g. RCT-2026-0001); voiding keeps the sequence intact • Duplicate a receipt, or issue a linked follow-up for the remaining balance PROFESSIONAL ON PAPER • Clean templates for receipts and quotes — 2 free, all with Pro • Your logo, business details, tax ID, bank details, and signature • Multiple business profiles, each with its own numbering, chosen per receipt (2nd onwards with Pro) • Company stamp (Pro): one per profile, background removed, next to your signature • Paper sizes: A4, Letter, DIN A6 (free), and 80/58 mm thermal rolls (Pro) • Tax: standard, mixed per-line rates, or tax-exempt wording for small businesses • Receipts, quotes, and app in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, chosen per document ORGANIZED BY DEFAULT • Searchable history, monthly summaries, filters by payer, type, and period • Export or re-share any PDF; full local backup, quotes included, for a new phone FREE AND PRO Receipt Maker is free to download and use: create receipts every month at no cost, with the core receipt types included. Pro removes the watermark and the monthly limit, unlocks all templates, rent receipts with annual statements, additional business profiles, and your company stamp, and includes all future Pro features. Available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. PRIVACY Receipt content, saved payer details, signatures, and stamps stay on your device; no account is required. Usage statistics and crash reports are only collected if you allow them (you can change this anytime in Settings) and never include receipt contents. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase and entitlement data. See the Privacy Policy for details. Important: Receipt Maker creates simple receipts (proof of payment). It does not create full tax invoices and is not a substitute for bookkeeping software, certified cash register systems, or professional tax advice.
