Summary
The article outlines six different ways to provide customers with payment receipts when using ZenMaid or common payment platforms:
Stripe: Automatically sends receipts when a saved card is charged or a ZenMaid invoice is paid, if automatic receipts are enabled in your Stripe Dashboard.
Square: Does not automatically send receipts for payments processed through ZenMaid, as Square treats these as external transactions. Receipts must be sent manually from the Square Dashboard, or you can use a ZenMaid paid invoice as an alternative.
Paid Invoice in ZenMaid: Once marked as Paid, the invoice can be sent to your client as confirmation of payment.
PayPal: Automatically sends an email receipt to your client upon payment.
Zelle: Clients can access and download receipts through their bank's app or online transaction history.
Venmo: Allows you to send a digital receipt by entering the client's email in the app.
Cash App: Provides monthly statements showing balances, fees, and transaction history, available in-app within five business days after month-end.
The guide emphasizes multiple payment platforms and how each generates electronic receipts for recordkeeping, storage, and sharing.

Sending a Receipt Through Square
Important
When payments are processed through ZenMaid's Square integration, Square treats them as external transactions and does not send an automatic receipt. To send a receipt, you will need to do so manually or use a ZenMaid paid invoice as an alternative.
To send a receipt manually
In the Square app, go to Transactions, locate the payment, and tap New Receipt.
From the Square Dashboard, go to Transactions, find the payment, click it, and choose Send Receipt under Actions.
Sending a Receipt Through Stripe
Automatically send receipts
In your Stripe Dashboard, click the Settings (gear icon) > Business settings > Customer emails, then toggle on Successful payments. This sends automatic email receipts after each successful payment (you can also toggle on Refunds if desired).
Customize receipts
In Dashboard Settings > Business > Branding, you can upload your logo and brand colors to tailor the appearance of email receipts.
Manually send a receipt
Via Dashboard:
Locate the customer under the Customers tab, open their payment, then click the Send receipt option.
Sending a Paid Invoice as a Receipt
You’ll need to create an invoice first. To learn how to create one in ZenMaid, please see our step-by-step guide here:
After creating an invoice, you will be prompted to send it. To manage the invoice instead, click the exit button in the top right corner of the pop-up window.
In the next invoice window, click Mark as Paid.
When sending the paid invoice, you can include a short message letting your client know their payment has been received, thanking them for their prompt payment, and confirming any upcoming appointments or services.
What Your Customer Sees
If you send the paid invoice from ZenMaid, your client will receive an email confirmation that the invoice is paid.
The invoice inside ZenMaid will show PAID.
The downloaded PDF invoice does display "Paid".
Sending a Receipt Through PayPal
When customers pay via PayPal, they automatically receive an email receipt showing the payment amount, transaction ID, date, and seller details. They will also see a payment confirmation screen immediately after checkout with an option to print or save it.
If a customer needs another copy, you can go to your PayPal Activity tab, open the transaction, and either print it or forward the details to them. For payments processed through PayPal’s Virtual Terminal, you can enter the customer’s email on the confirmation screen to send the receipt manually.

Accessing a Receipt Through Zelle

Customers who want a Zelle payment receipt can log in to their bank’s mobile app or online banking account. From there, they can navigate to the Zelle, Transfers, or Send Money section and open the Activity, Transactions, or History tab. By selecting the specific payment, they can view details such as the date, amount, recipient, and any notes. Many banks allow these records to be downloaded or printed for easy storage, retrieval, or sharing.
