receipt-generator

A receipt generator builds a professional-looking receipt — line items, subtotal, tax, total, payment method, customer info — in the format you'd expect from a small business. Useful for freelancers, side hustles, manual reimbursement workflows, and small-business owners who haven't set up POS software. The ZTools Receipt Generator runs in the browser, supports custom logos / branding / fonts, computes tax and totals automatically, and exports as PDF or printable HTML.

Use cases​

Issue a receipt for a manual sale​

A side hustle without POS — generate a receipt for the customer in 30 seconds.

Reimbursement documentation​

You paid out of pocket; need a receipt to submit. Tool produces a properly-formatted document.

Receipt template for repeated use​

Save your business info as a template; generate new receipts faster.

Multi-currency / multi-language receipts​

International freelancing — receipts in EUR, JPY, GBP with local tax conventions.

How it works​

  1. Add business info — Name, address, tax ID, phone, optional logo (paste image URL or upload — local only).
  2. Add line items — Description, quantity, unit price. Tool computes line total.
  3. Configure tax + payment — Tax % or fixed amount. Payment method (cash / card / bank transfer / etc.).
  4. Export — PDF download (browser print → save as PDF) or HTML for inline use.

Frequently asked questions​

Is this a legal receipt?

Format-wise, yes — it has all the standard fields. Whether it satisfies your jurisdiction's receipt requirements (specific tax ID format, mandatory fields) depends on local law. Check with your accountant for required content.

Logo upload?

Image stays in the browser; never uploaded. Encoded into the PDF as base64. Final PDF is portable.

Multi-currency?

Pick currency from a list. Tool formats amounts per locale convention (€1.234,56 vs $1,234.56).

Privacy?

All client-side.

Tips​

  • Save your business info as a template — speeds up subsequent receipts.
  • For tax compliance, include your tax ID / VAT number. Most jurisdictions require it on receipts above a threshold.
  • For PDF export, use the browser's print dialog → "Save as PDF" — produces a clean, scalable document.
  • For repeated customers, save customer info too — reduces typing across many receipts.
