Common questions
Do I need an invoice or a receipt?
If you are asking your client to pay, you need an invoice. Use this receipt after payment has been received.
Can I charge my client through this receipt?
No. The receipt editor records payments made outside Paperkit. A Paperkit subscription pays for your own use of the tool, not for collecting client payments.
Can I keep a client history?
Sign in and choose Save to account to keep your receipts. Free accounts and Pro both include receipt history and duplication; the daily cloud-save allowance differs.
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.
