Why Payment Receipts Still Matter

Many businesses offer the option of receiving a digital (versus paper) receipt, which is great for convenience and customer satisfaction. But there are benefits to printed receipts as well. Having hardcopies of receipts can be important when filing taxes or being audited. When customers get a paper receipt at the time of a transaction, they can check to make sure the amounts are accurate. You’ll have to remember to check a digital receipt later, which requires sorting through email messages to find and save the receipt. Paper receipts can also be helpful when returning an item, especially if the item was a gift and requires a gift receipt.

Whether digital or paper, receipts help sellers keep track of transactions, providing a detailed record of items sold. They can also help reduce employee fraud and theft, and can be used to settle disputes between sellers and customers. 

When choosing a receipt design, consider customization options so it’s unique to your business and harder for someone to replicate with a fraudulent receipt. Also, make sure it includes key information such as who is issuing the receipt, the date of the transaction, items sold, amount paid and by whom, and the customer’s signature. You can also include a receipt number for easy tracking.

Using Payment Schedules

A payment schedule is used for planning (it shows when payments are due so that you can budget around them) and for tracking what payments have been made. This is helpful for paying bills on time, with less stress, and for avoiding late fees or added interest. It also helps with organizing your bills, assists you in getting out of debt faster, and ultimately saves you money. A payment schedule is useful whether you’re paying installments on a big loan, such as for a car or home, or planning for your monthly bills.

Bill payment templates make it easy to create a schedule or calendar showing due dates, amounts owed, and completed payments. In addition to due dates, you can include which day of the month you plan to make a payment, the method of payment used, and any remaining amounts still owed.
