What a plumbing receipt should include

Every receipt needs your business details, a receipt number, the date paid, who paid, the amount, and how they paid. The receipt maker above handles those. These matter most for plumbing work:

• The invoice number. Tie the receipt to the invoice it pays, so the customer's records and yours match.
• The check number. Write it on the receipt. If a check bounces or goes missing, the number is the first thing the bank asks for.
• Paid in full, with the date. A clear "Paid in full on" line ends the "did we pay that?" call later.
• Your license number. Many states license plumbers. If yours does, put the number on every receipt, the same as on your invoice.
• The warranty line. Customers keep receipts. A line saying how long your labor is covered means they know who to call.

Plumbing receipt questions

What should a plumbing receipt include?

Your business name, phone, and license number if your state requires it, a receipt number, the date paid, the customer's name and the job address, the job and invoice number it pays, the amount, and how they paid (with the check number for a check). Mark it paid in full or show the balance remaining, add your warranty line, and sign it.

Do I need to give a receipt when a customer pays by check?

It's a good habit. The cleared check is the customer's record, but a receipt with the invoice number and check number ties the payment to the job, and it's the paper they'll look for if a question comes up later. Print it or text the PDF the same day.

Should a plumbing receipt list parts and labor again?

It doesn't have to. The invoice lists parts and labor; the receipt records the payment. Put the invoice number on the receipt so the two match. If the customer didn't get an invoice, use the Details box to say what the payment was for.

Can I make a receipt from the invoice I already made here?

Yes. If you made the invoice with the free invoice maker or the plumbing invoice template in this browser, click "Start from my last invoice." It copies the customer, job, invoice number, total, and what's left to pay, then you pick the payment method.
