Receipts vs. Invoices: What's the difference?
While often confused, invoices and receipts serve different purposes in the billing cycle.
Invoices (Request for Payment)
An invoice is sent before a payment is made. It lists the goods or services provided, the total amount due, and the payment terms. It represents an account receivable for the seller.
Receipts (Proof of Payment)
A receipt is issued after a payment has been received. It serves as proof of purchase and a record that a specific invoice or transaction has been settled.
