Is this a receipt the recipient signs when a delivery arrives?

No. This template records payment for delivery services. Use your existing delivery-acknowledgment process when you need a recipient’s signature or confirmation of the goods. You can attach an existing delivery record to the payment receipt.

Should I include the value of the delivered goods?

Not as a service charge unless you also sold those goods and are recording payment for them. For a delivery-service receipt, identify what you carried while keeping the merchandise value separate from the fee you received for delivery.

Should I name the store or the person who received the package?

Name whoever paid your business. A store can be the paying customer even when someone else receives the goods. Use the booking reference and drop-off details to connect the payment to the delivery.

What if payment arrives after the delivery date?

The receipt date is the date you received payment, even when you prepare or send it later. Put the delivery date in the description or Notes. In the example, deliveries took place on September 22 and the $163.24 payment arrived on September 24.

How do I record a later payment of the balance?

Create a new receipt for the new payment. Keep earlier payments distinct and use the actual payment date. Show a zero balance once those payments settle the delivery bill.

What should I send before the delivery customer pays?

Send a shipping-service invoice for the delivery charges. The receipt comes after you receive money. It confirms a full or partial payment rather than asking the customer to pay again.

How to Create a Delivery Receipt

Begin with the booking and the payment received for it. Already billed the delivery in Docelf? Record the payment and create a receipt from that invoice. Docelf copies the customer and service charges for you to check.

For a standalone payment receipt, use the fields below. Choose the first receipt number; Docelf numbers later receipts sequentially.

Numbered receipt fields for delivery work and the payment received

Your Business: Add your delivery business name and contact details.
Your Logo: Use your logo to match the booking paperwork.
The Customer: Name the person or business that paid you.
Number and Date: Check the number. Use the date payment was received.
The Delivery: List services and separately priced extras with quantities and prices.
The Payment: Check tax, discounts, and the total. Record the amount received and payment method.
Booking Notes: Add the booking reference in Notes. Review, then email or save a PDF.

Separate Delivery Charges From the Value of the Goods

The goods help identify the job, but their value is not automatically a delivery charge. Use the agreed unit for each service charge, whether that is stops, pallets, or time. Docelf calculates the line amounts, tax, and total.

This sample booking covers office-supply deliveries to three stops. You received a $163.24 bank transfer in full on September 24, 2026. That is the receipt date. The US-dollar prices and 6% tax on all charges are illustrative.

QTY	Description	Unit Price	Amount
3	Local office-supply delivery — drop-off stops	$32.00	$96.00
1	Unloading assistance — hour	$40.00	$40.00
0.5	Billable waiting time — hour	$36.00	$18.00

	Subtotal	$154.00
	Sales Tax (6% illustrative)	$9.24
	Total Paid	$163.24

The $163.24 payment covers the delivery services in full. In this example, unloading and waiting time cost extra; use the charges and tax treatment from your own agreement.

Use Notes to Match the Payment to the Booking

A booking or order reference is useful when the paying customer and the delivery recipient are different. Identify the route or drop-off addresses in the description or Notes, and keep the delivery date separate from the receipt’s payment date.

For a multi-stop booking, an existing delivery record can hold the longer address list. The note below connects that booking to the $163.24 payment.

Example: Notes

Booking DEL-1184: office-supply deliveries to three stops on September 22, 2026. See the job record for the drop-off addresses.
Bank transfer of $163.24 received September 24, 2026.
Paid in full for the delivery services listed.

Confirm the Delivery Payment You Received

Create the receipt in Docelf and keep it with the delivery booking. Email it or save a PDF for the customer’s records.

Payment Confirmation Is Not a Delivery Signature

A payment receipt confirms money received. A delivery acknowledgment confirms that the recipient received the goods. Keep signatures and condition checks with your delivery paperwork.

You can attach an existing delivery record as a PDF or supported image. Delivery and opening information for an emailed receipt refers to the document, not the package.

Name the Paying Customer, Not Just the Drop-Off

A store may pay you to deliver to its customer. In that case, the store is the customer on your payment receipt, while the drop-off details identify the job. For a payment collected from the recipient, name the person or business that actually paid you.

Packages, pallets, or stops can be quantities when those units determine your price. Otherwise, use the goods description to identify the job. Keep money collected for the seller’s goods separate from your own delivery-service payment.

Another Copy or Another Payment?

A customer who needs another PDF of the same payment can receive the same receipt again. Keep its receipt number, payment date, and amount. That is different from recording a new payment.

If a booking is paid in installments, create a new receipt when another payment arrives. Record that new amount and keep earlier payments separate.

For a different delivery booking, saved customer and service details are a useful starting point. You can duplicate a previous receipt into a new draft with a new number. Replace the route, booking, dates, charges, and payment with the new details.

Make the Receipt Easy for the Customer to Recognize

Add your logo, colors, and font, and use “Delivery” before the receipt title. Put your phone, email, or website in the footer for payment questions. Docelf supports USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, and AUD; choose the currency you were paid in.

Review the receipt, then email it, print it, or download a PDF. Keep it with the booking records so you can find both the payment and the job without searching through separate messages.

Need an Editable File for the Delivery Record?

Word or Google Docs gives you a document to edit. Excel or Google Sheets gives you rows for stops, time, and prices. These are separate general receipt templates you can adapt for delivery services; Docelf downloads receipts as PDFs.
