Make the payment details easy to find
The supplied receipt shows a Paid label, receipt reference REC-0142, cashier Counter 1 and UPI as the payment method. For your own receipt, add the actual transaction reference when relevant and link it to the invoice or sale.
- Business name and contact details.
- Unique receipt number and date received.
- Invoice or order reference and payer details where needed.
- Amount received, currency and actual payment method.
- Balance remaining when only part of the bill is paid.
Mark a receipt paid after verifying the payment
A printed Paid stamp is a statement about the recorded payment. Verify cash received or the bank or provider transaction before issuing it. An invoice QR scan or a customer screenshot alone does not confirm that your account received the intended amount.
Keep included tax separate from additional tax
The sample summary shows ₹766 − ₹16 = ₹750 and then ₹750 paid. Its GST line is labeled included. Adding that line again would change the meaning of the displayed summary. Check the source sale’s actual tax calculation instead of using the preview as tax-rate guidance.
Count items without combining incompatible units
The sample shows 6 item rows and an aggregate quantity of 12.25. The rows mix pieces and kilograms. That quantity sum is not a physical stock total: report 1.250 kg of dal separately from piece quantities and use SKU-level units in your inventory records.
Keep a retrievable digital record
The bill-view QR in the sample points to an example address. For a real receipt, use an authorized link to the correct record and test access before printing. Star notes that thermal media can fade or darken with heat, sunlight and chemicals; retain a digital copy with the sale.
Illustrative bill calculations
Check the numbers before printing
Both previews show six item amounts: ₹265 + ₹175 + ₹116 + ₹28 + ₹140 + ₹42 = ₹766. They use sample date 6 October 2026. The invoice and receipt have different tax presentation and payment status; compare them as separate design examples.
Receipt: ₹750 total and ₹750 paid
| Item subtotal | ₹766.00 |
|---|---|
| Discount | −₹16.00 |
| GST labeled included | ₹48.62 (not added again) |
| Round off | ₹0.00 |
| Displayed total | ₹750.00 |
| Payment acknowledged | ₹750.00 |
| Balance after full payment | ₹0.00 |
The displayed subtotal and discount reconcile to the total. The included tax amount needs a separate check against the source transaction; this preview does not establish tax compliance. Its quantity summary mixes kilograms and pieces, so use separate units in inventory records.
