Make the receipt look like your shop

The receipt is the paper your customer keeps, so it should show your shop clearly. Pick its style, its fonts and its logo, and look at it before anything goes out.

4 things it does

Choose how your receipt looks, then see it before you print

Basic and Professional

How do I change how my receipts look? Choose a receipt style: Minimal, Compact, Standard or Boxed. Choose a business type to set what the receipt says, and see the receipt at the printer's own width before you print a test.

Without it

The receipt is the last thing a customer takes from your counter. A plain slip that looks like many others says little about yours.

With it

You pick a style and your kind of business, and the receipt changes to match. You see it at your printer's own paper width before anything goes out.

Open Setup and choose Receipt design. Pick one of four styles: Minimal, Compact, Standard or Boxed. Then choose your business type, which sets what the receipt says. The preview shows the receipt as your printer will print it, and a test print is marked TEST - NOT A SALE. Changes print from the next sale, and a reprint of an old sale uses the design you have now and is marked COPY.

Pick the look of your receipt, from plain to boxed.

Give your receipt a shop name font that suits your shop

Basic and Professional

Can I change the font the receipt prints in? The shop name and the rest of the receipt each have their own font. Each is the printer's own font, or a bundled font printed as a picture.

Without it

On a plain receipt the lines look alike, so your shop's name gets lost among the items and the totals.

With it

The shop name and the rest of the receipt each get their own font. You pick the printer's own font, or a bundled one that prints as a clear picture.

In the receipt design, choose one font for the shop's name and another for the rest of the text. Each choice is either the printer's own font, or a font that comes with SellyPOS and prints as a picture. The two choices are separate, so the name can stand out from the lines below it. Fonts change the receipt only, not labels or the full-page invoice.

Put your shop's own logo on the receipts you print

In every edition

Can I put my shop's logo on the receipts it prints? Choose the logo on the Shop tab, see how it will print, and it is drawn on the receipts.

Without it

A plain receipt gives a regular customer little to recognise your shop by, visit after visit.

With it

Your logo prints on the receipts. You see how it will print before you save it, and you can remove it again.

Choose your logo in Setup. The picture is shown as it will print on paper before you save. Once saved, the logo is drawn on the receipts the till prints. The picture is turned into black and white for the printer, using a setting that SellyPOS keeps fixed and you cannot change. You can remove the logo later.

See how much tax each rate added, right on the receipt

Basic and Professional

Can the receipt show how much tax each rate added? Standard and Boxed receipts can list tax by rate under the payments, so each rate and its tax is shown. The rates always add up to the sale's tax total, or no breakdown prints.

Without it

A customer asks how the tax on a mixed bill was worked out, and the total alone gives no answer. Working it out by hand at the counter takes time you do not have.

With it

The receipt lists each tax rate with the amount it was charged on and the tax it added. The lines add up to the tax total printed on the same receipt.

Each line gives the tax name, its rate, the amount it was charged on and the tax it added. Goods with no tax are listed on their own line. A return does not print the breakdown.

Other ways people ask this
  • receipt that shows tax for each rate
  • pos receipt with tax breakdown by rate
  • show how much tax was charged on a bill
