Use Cases

Who Uses This Tool

Independent sellers and side-hustlers are the most common users — someone selling at a craft fair, doing freelance work, or running a small home business who needs to hand a buyer proof of payment but doesn't have accounting software set up yet. Landlords use it to give tenants a receipt for a cash or bank-transfer rent payment, which both sides may need later for a dispute or a tax filing. Freelancers who invoice informally use it after a client pays to close out the transaction with a paper trail, especially useful for cash payments that wouldn't otherwise leave a bank record. It's also handy for personal reimbursements — splitting a shared purchase with a roommate or friend and providing a simple written record of what was paid and for what. Because the tool runs entirely in the browser, nothing about the transaction is uploaded anywhere, which matters when the receipt includes a client's name or payment details. For anyone issuing receipts regularly for formal accounting or tax-registered business purposes, it's worth checking local requirements for what a legally compliant receipt must include beyond what's captured here.
