Question 1

What is a carbonless receipt book?

Accepted Answer

A carbonless receipt book is a pad of paper receipts with coated sheets that transfer what you write to the copies underneath — no carbon paper needed. You write once and keep a duplicate for your records. Receipts Book does the same job on your phone: write the receipt once, and the numbered original is saved in your book while a printable copy goes to your customer.

Question 2

Do I have to renumber my receipts when I switch?

Accepted Answer

No. Each new book you open in Receipts Book starts at 0001 and counts up — the same sequential numbering a paper book gives you. Your old paper receipts stay valid; the digital book simply takes over from the next number.

Question 3

What does it cost compared with paper books?

Accepted Answer

A steady supply of paper receipt books typically runs $125 or more a year. Receipts Book is $4.99 CAD a month or $49 CAD a year, with no per-receipt fees, and your first ten receipts are free.

Question 4

Can I still hand my customer a paper copy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Save the receipt, then open Print from its finished receipt page — it uses your phone or tablet's normal print dialog with compatible AirPrint, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi printers. No printer nearby? Share or download the PDF instead.
