What is a service receipt template?

It’s effectively a blank receipt that your company can standardize across its transactions. You can streamline your paperwork and offer services more efficiently by maintaining ready-made templates in text document, pdf, and spreadsheet formats.

Small businesses and independent freelancers don’t always use service receipts, but there are many benefits to incorporating them into your transactions.

Benefits of using a receipt template

Your first benefit from using a receipt template as a service provider is that it’s much simpler and more convenient than making one from scratch. Designing a service receipt requires making decisions on font and spacing and requires more familiarity with editing software. Whether you find the template ideal or edit it, you’ll also benefit from having a standardized receipt ready to go for transactions.

Why use a standardized receipt template?

Issuing a standardized receipt reduces the paperwork burden of each transaction and provides a sense of transparency to customers, as well as facilitates easy bookkeeping on their part. Finally, using a smart, clean receipt template with custom branding elements that customers can easily read provides an impression of professionalism.

How to edit your receipt template

If you issue receipts digitally, you’ll typically do so in pdf format. However, pdfs are difficult to edit, and you’ll need to be able to edit the document to fill in the services and payment information. You’ll also need to edit your original receipt template if the basic template needs alteration before it suits your company. Follow these steps to edit your template:

  1. Download the text or spreadsheet version
  2. Open the document in your preferred editor, such as Google Docs or Excel
  3. Make the changes you have in mind and save your template

When you need to fill out the receipt template to issue a service receipt, take the following steps:

  1. Open a copy of your template as a text document or spreadsheet
  2. Fill in the empty fields as necessary with a unique receipt number, services rendered, costs, etc.
  3. Select the “save as pdf” option to convert your word or text document into a pdf
  4. Either send the pdf via email or print off a physical copy

What information is on a service receipt?

The first category of information is your company name, company logo, and contact information. This will be standard across all of your service receipts, while the other necessary information varies.

Each service receipt needs a unique number as well as your customer’s information and issuance date. The final component of a service receipt is a list of services with line items, a service description and its specific cost, the total cost, tax, and payment method for your customer.
