Configuring Receipt Templates

In this article

A Receipt is a document sent to a customer as official proof of payment. Unlike an Invoice, which asks for payment (Amount Due), a Receipt confirms that the money has already been received (Amount Paid). In EasyBiz Cloud, the tools used to build Receipts are identical to those used for Invoices. You can fully customize the layout, add your logo, and automate when they are sent.


Why configure your receipt templates?

A default receipt confirms payment, but a customized template improves the customer experience:

  • Professional Image: Add your logo and brand colors to make the proof of payment look official and trustworthy.
  • Clear Confirmation: Clearly highlight "Amount Paid" and the payment method so customers know exactly how much was charged and when.
  • Reduce Disputes: Display detailed line items and tax info so customers understand the charges without needing to contact support.

Accessing Receipt Templates

Go to Settings > Templates and select the Email card. By default, EasyBiz provides pre-made templates:

Click + Add to create a new Email template based on standard layouts.

Navigate to the Receipt Template section to find pre-made layouts designed to streamline your operations:

  • POS Order Receipt: The standard receipt printed for in-store purchases at the Point of Sale.
  • Online Order Receipt: A digital receipt format sent to customers who order via the web or app.
  • Internal Order Receipt: A layout designed for kitchen staff or warehouse teams to process orders.
  • Handover Receipt: A document used to confirm delivery or customer pickup.

Once you have chosen the template, don't forget to click Create.


Layout Configuration

Use the left-side panel to configure the global settings for your receipt template.

  1. Date Format: Choose how the date appears.
  2. Time Format: Select between a 12-hour (01:00 PM) or 24-hour (13:00) clock.
  3. Currency Display: Control if the price shows the narrow symbol ($), code (SGD), or no symbol.
  4. Select Order to Preview: Choose a real order from your history to see how the design looks with actual data.

Customizing the Design

You can insert dynamic data that changes for every order by typing the @ symbol. This reveals a dropdown list of common variables, including:

  • Line Item ID: The unique system code for the product.
  • Line Item Product ID: The reference ID for the specific product variant.
  • Item Index: Numbers the items in the list (1, 2, 3...).
  • Line Item Name: The name of the product or service.
  • Label Indexes: The category or group number the item belongs to.
  • Item Note: Special instructions added by the customer or staff.
  • Measurement: Displays weight, volume, or size (e.g., kg, liters).
  • Item Status: Shows if the item is Pending, Ready, or Delivered.
  • Quantity: The number of units ordered.
  • Unit: The unit of measure (e.g., "pcs", "box").
  • Unit Price: The cost of a single item.
  • Line Total: The total cost for that line (Quantity x Unit Price).
  • And others...: Scroll down the dropdown list to access many more variables available for your store.

Previewing and Publishing the Template

Before finalizing your template, ensure that dynamic data appears correctly.

Click Publish again.

Your template is now Active on the main list; click the three dots (...) menu to edit, rename, duplicate, or delete it.
