Yes. In SalonLife, you can manually download a receipt for a client and either email it to them or print it out at the salon.

This is useful, for example, when:

• the client wants an invoice emailed to them later
• the client wants payment confirmation after their service
• you want to double-check the invoice yourself first
• the client needs a document for their accounting

What’s the Difference Between an Invoice and a Receipt?

Invoice:

An invoice is a more detailed document, suited for example to a company’s bookkeeping or as an expense record.

An invoice usually shows:

• services or products
• prices
• VAT
• salon details
• client details

Receipt:

A receipt is a shorter payment confirmation that confirms payment has been made. It’s the same as a regular till receipt.

If needed, you can also print a receipt, for example from a POS printer.

2. Click the booking the client wants a receipt for.
3. If a payment method hasn’t been marked yet, click the Checkout button.
4. Choose the payment method or methods the client used to pay for the service.

6. Click the PDF icon on the invoice preview and select Download Invoice.
7. Send the downloaded invoice to the client by email, or print it out on-site.

‍

NB! You can have several receipts per booking, but always only one invoice!

For example:

• the client pays 30 € by card
• and 20 € in cash

In that case, you can download:

• a separate card payment receipt
• a separate cash payment receipt

The invoice, on the other hand, is always a single, complete document that shows every payment method used for that booking together.

‍

TIP: If a client just wants confirmation that a payment has been made, a receipt is usually enough. If a client needs a document for their company, for example, we recommend sending an invoice instead.

‍

You can only download a receipt once a payment method has been marked on the booking, and a single booking can have more than one payment method marked. If a client asks for a receipt after paying, this is the fastest way to provide one without having to create a separate invoice in an accounting program.
