Issuing receipts

A receipt, also known as a simplified invoice, is a shortened version of a full invoice. Unlike a regular invoice, customer billing details (such as name or address) are optional. This makes receipts ideal for B2C sales where you don't collect all the buyer's information.

This is how receipt issuing works in Quaderno:

• Receipts are only issued for B2C transactions — never for B2B sales
• The total amount (including taxes) must be below the receipt threshold set by your country's regulations
• For digital services: the transaction must be within the EU — either domestic (same country as your business) or intra-EU (buyer in another EU country)
• For goods: the customer must be in the same country as your business

Activating receipt issuing

By default, Quaderno doesn't issue receipts. To enable this feature:

1. Go to your Quaderno account's preferences page.
2. In the Documents section, enter the Receipt threshold. This maximum amount is defined by each country's tax regulations.
3. Save your changes.

How to create a receipt

You can create receipts either automatically or manually.

• Automatic creation: If your store is connected to Quaderno, a receipt will be issued automatically for all qualifying B2C sales that are below the set threshold and are missing customer information.

Common questions

Can I issue a receipt to a foreign customer?

It depends on what you're selling. For digital services, the customer must be in the EU — either in the same country as your business or in another EU country. For goods, the customer must be in the same country as your business. In both cases, if the geographic condition is not met, Quaderno will issue a full invoice instead.

Can I issue a receipt to a business customer?

No. Receipts are only valid for consumer (B2C) sales. If your customer is a business, Quaderno will issue a full invoice instead, regardless of the transaction amount.
