Invoice vs Receipt β What's the Difference?
An invoice is a request for payment. It's issued BEFORE the transaction completes, listing the products/services, quantities, prices, taxes, and total amount due. A receipt is proof of payment. It's issued AFTER the transaction completes, confirming what was paid, when, and how. For tax compliance in India, GST tax invoices are mandatory for registered businesses. Receipts are issued after payment clears. Our tool supports both modes with the right fields for each.
Essential Fields in Every Invoice
Seller details β business name, address, GSTIN, contact. Invoice number β unique, sequential for tracking. Invoice date β when issued. Customer details β name, address, GSTIN if registered. Line items β description, quantity, rate, and HSN/SAC code. Tax breakdown β CGST + SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state. Total β subtotal, taxes, grand total. Payment terms β due date, bank details, payment methods. Our tool covers all of these standard fields.
Common Use Cases
Freelancers billing clients monthly. Small shops issuing GST invoices to walk-in customers. Consultants invoicing projects. Contractors billing for services rendered. E-commerce sellers invoicing bulk orders. Tutors billing students. Anyone who needs to formally request or confirm payment for products or services.
