Use-case checklist

What to include in a retail store sales receipt

A retail sales receipt should be easy to scan and useful for returns: store, date, receipt number, SKU, quantities, discounts, tax, total, and payment all belong together.

  • store, location, date, and receipt number
  • SKU, product, variant, quantity, and price
  • discount, taxable subtotal, and sales tax
  • total and payment method
  • return-policy reference and cashier when useful

Complete it cleanly

Use short product descriptions and SKUs, show variants when relevant, separate discount and sales tax, identify payment method, and point to the store’s written return policy rather than crowding the receipt.

When this document is the right choice

Use this sales receipt to itemize a sale that was paid at the point of purchase. A sales receipt combines the sale details and proof of payment. Use an invoice when the customer will pay later or an ordinary receipt when confirming a non-sale payment.
