How to Create a Sales Receipt

A sales receipt is used when a customer pays at the point of sale — cash, mobile money, or card — and you want to issue them a formal receipt immediately. Unlike an invoice (which requests future payment), a receipt records a completed sale.

Steps

1. Click Sales Receipts in the left menu, then click New Receipt.
2. Select an existing customer, or create a new one. For walk-in customers, you can add a name and phone number.
3. Add your line items. Use the item catalog search to quickly insert saved products.
4. Under Payment, enter the amount received, payment method (Cash, Mobile Money, Card, Bank Transfer), and the payment date.
5. Add any notes if needed.
6. Click Save. The receipt is created and marked as paid.

If you sell the same products repeatedly, save them to your item catalog first. Creating a receipt then takes under 30 seconds.
