Learn how to create a sales receipt in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.

Use a sales receipt if you receive full payment at the time of a sale. Sales receipts include payments by cash, check, or credit card. You can also use a sales receipt to summarize your daily sales in one transaction.

Create your sales receipts

Note: You can edit your sales receipts by choosing the sales receipt you want to edit from the left panel.

Use sales receipts to track daily sales summary

If you don’t need to track sales by customer, you can still use sales receipts to record your daily sales summaries.

Step 1: Create a sales summary template

Step 2: Use your template to create sales summaries

 Note: When the price of an item changes, create a new sales summary template that reflects the new price. Memorize the new template and save it under the name you chose for the original template. QuickBooks will then replace the original template with the new one.
