Common questions

Is this a work order or an invoice?

No. This page creates a PAYMENT RECEIPT to record money received. A work order describes work to do; an invoice requests payment.

Does this calculate progress payments or retention?

No. It does not manage project balances, retention or progress billing. Enter only the items and amount covered by the payment being recorded.

Is this a lien waiver?

No. It is a payment record, not a lien waiver or contract.

Do I need a paid plan to print?

No. Editing and browser printing are free without signup. A free account can save up to five new cloud receipts per day. Compare account plans.
