A receipt is a document that signifies that the sale of goods or services was received by the buyer. It is needed to collect sales tax or VAT from the seller. It also contains the date of the purchase in case of refund or disputes in the future. Moreover, receipts have no standard format and are usually machine-generated.
The official receipt contains the name of the buyer, the products or goods sold, the seller information, mode of payment (cash or card), and the warranty or return details. The basic receipt is kept by the customer. If you are a seller, feel free to look at Template.net’s simple receipt templates.

According to Emarketer, a survey conducted by YouGov Omnibus, 68% of the US internet users prefer a physical copy of their receipt when buying something in the store, while 19% preferred an electronic receipt through email or text message, and the remaining 9% preferred to skip receipts. Furthermore, consumers also noted that they would like to return a good without the proof of purchase. 20.9% of the internet users prefer this option because physical copies of the receipt get thrown away or misplaced.
