Template Overview
Our Cash Receipt Template simplifies the creation of professional receipts for cash, check, or money order transactions, printing three receipts per page.
A standout feature of this template is the integrated formula that automatically converts numerical amounts into their written form. Simply enter “1234.56” in the “Amount” field, and the template will automatically display “One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four and 56/100 —–.”
Beyond general cash transactions, this template is also adaptable for rent receipts. Utilize the “From” and “To” fields to specify the rental period and the “For Payment” field to include the property address.

Maximizing the Cash Receipt Template
Optimized Printing with Perforated Paper – Our receipt forms and templates are designed for 8.5″ x 11″ Perforated Paper (1 column x 3 rows). Paper can be sourced from PerforatedPaper.com or other office supply vendors. (Vertex42.com is not affiliated with perforatedpaper.com).
Creating Duplicate Receipts – For duplicate or triplicate copies, customize the template by linking fields in the subsequent receipts to the first receipt’s values. This creates “carbon copy” functionality, mirroring the PDF form’s capability.
Receipt Authentication with Signatures – Updated 2/8/2016: To enhance security and deter fraudulent receipt creation, personalize your receipts for uniqueness and always sign them upon issuance. Our updated templates include signature lines for this purpose.
