A receipt is a written document confirming a payment has been made. It serves as proof of purchase for the buyer, a record of sale for the seller, and is used for bookkeeping, tax filing, and expense tracking.
An invoice is a request for payment sent before the buyer pays. A receipt is confirmation that payment has been received. You send an invoice to get paid; you send a receipt to confirm payment.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Many states require receipts for transactions over a certain amount. Landlords in several US states must provide rent receipts. Nonprofits must issue donation receipts for contributions over $250.
