What should a receipt include?

A receipt should include your business name and contact details, the customer, a unique receipt number, the payment date, the payment method, an itemized list of what was paid for, the total amount paid, and a note that it was paid in full.

What is the difference between a receipt and an invoice?

An invoice requests payment before it is made; a receipt confirms a payment that has already happened. You send an invoice to ask for money and issue a receipt once you have received it.
