New Receipt Template Added

We continue to add new receipt templates to ExpressExpense Receipt Maker on a regular basis. This week, we’ve added a few more receipts to the receipt template inventory. Let’s take a look at what is new!

Improved Receipt Fonts

Steve Jobs was notorious for obsessing over details. As the story goes, Steve famously audited a calligraphy class at Reed College (Portland, OR). A Trappist monk named Robert Palladino was teaching this class. Steve didn’t realize this class would have any application in his life. However, he later attributed the beauty of his Apple operating system to this particular class.

We also believe the details matter. More importantly, the typography matters when you are making professional-quality receipts. We took the time to design several new fonts that create the most accurate and crisp images possible. These receipt fonts were developed by dissecting receipts from many popular retail stores and building the fonts from scratch. The results is 4 new receipt fonts that perfectly match the fonts used at POS systems at stores such as Walmart, Target and Home Depot.

Big Box Store Receipt receipt — We have improved our fonts to perfectly match POS thermal printers.

Airport Parking Receipt Template

This new Airport Parking Receipt template gives travelers one more option for submitting expense reports on time. The receipt requires an Entry Time and Exit Time to be provided to establish the total length of parking time. The total parking time is calculated by the receipt maker system and is displayed as the Duration field. This parking receipt displays the parking duration as a total of days, hours and minutes. The transaction and ticket numbers are both automatically generated on this receipt. The total parking cost is easy to enter for this receipt since it is only a single field.

This parking receipt template could be used for any type of parking. It happens to be titled “Airport Parking Receipt” because it was modeled after a Laguardia Airport parking service. Feel free to use it for event parking, downtown parking, valet parking or anything else!

Restaurant Bar Receipt

We know our users would like more restaurant receipts to use for their businesses. We decided to add more receipts that have the write-in TIP and TOTAL areas defined. This receipt is clean and simple and was designed to match a very common POS system’s receipt output. The default receipt font is a custom thermal font that was newly created for this particular receipt template. This receipt has itemized products shown on the receipt and displays the Amount in a larger font size. This Amount is a total of the Sub-total and TAX. Remember, if you use this receipt, you are typically suppose to pay TIP on the Sub-Total (before tax) only! The user of this receipt would then write-in his own calculation of tip and the add the Sub-Total to the Tip to get the final total. Finally, the receipt has a SIGNATURE line at the bottom for the customer’s authorizing signature.

Always improving to create the Best Receipt Maker in the World

We continue to adapt our receipt maker tool to make it truly a great product and value. Our customers deserve the most reliable, professional and secure tool for making receipts. We listen closely to our customer’s feedback and have quarterly customer-focused feedback sessions to focus on differentiating our receipt maker from the competition.

How To Make Receipts

How to make a fake Walmart receipt?

Making a receipt for Walmart purchases is easy using an online receipt maker like ExpressExpense. Follow these 5 steps to create a Walmart receipt:

First, choose the Walmart receipt template from the library of receipt templates.
Next, enter the store information and purchase information into the receipt generator input screen. Add itemized items to the receipt using the tool.
Add a Walmart logo to the receipt like this one: Walmart Receipt Logo
Finally, Click “Make Receipt” and view the generated Walmart receipt. Download or email the receipt to your device.

The Walmart receipt template has been carefully designed to match Walmart receipts. The receipt font used in this template is an exact replica of the thermal printer used at Walmart stores.

Anatomy of a Walmart receipt

The receipt header information on Walmart receipts varies from store to store. Some Walmart stores choose to put the physical address of the store on the receipt while others only list the store manager name and the phone number.

ST# is Walmart store number. OP# is the cashier number ( aka: operator number ). TE# is the register number. TR# is a transaction number for that register.

The barcode is the TC# number. When you return an item in the store, a Walmart employee will scan this barcode.

The Store Number (ST#), OP#, TE#, TR# values are all randomly generated when the receipt is created.

The items on the Walmart receipt are listed in the order they are scanned at time of purchase. To the right of the the item price, you may see a letter -N, X, O or T – that denotes the type of taxing the item received.

N = Nontaxable item
X = Taxable item
O = Sale item (nontaxable)
T = Sale item (taxable)
H = HSA (Health Spending Account) eligible item
F = Food item (eligible for Food Stamps)
K = Cashier manually keyed enter (did not scan properly)

The QR code is a new element on the Walmart receipt. This QR code is an encoded URL for looking up your receipt online. It was also utilized for collecting rewards using the Walmart App‘s Savings Catcher feature. Walmart discontinued this feature in May of 2019.

So, what are you waiting for? Use our Walmart Receipt Generator to create your own Walmart receipt.

How ExpressExpense Started

People occasionally ask me, “How did you think of making ExpressExpense?” Although I’ve told this story a hundred times, I don’t think it has ever made it’s way to the internet. So here goes!

It was 2014. I was working in corporate America and traveling a few times every month. This meant I had expense reports due monthly which always seemed to be overdue.

It was mid-February and I was just wrapping up a trip to Las Vegas and had another back-to-back trip scheduled the following week for Nashville, TN. My expense report for the previous Vegas trip had been submitted but came back rejected due to a missing receipt. The second time, I tried submitting a hand-written note that said, “Hotel Restaurant – Business – $67.11”. Rejected again. The third time around, I copied my credit card bill and circled the charge and then wrote under it, “Travel Meal – under $75.” Upon the third rejection from the finance team, I finally was approached by my manager. “We’re going to have to do something about your expense reports” he calmly said. I’m thinking, “oh man, he’s going to cut my travel and ground me.”

“Finance says you can’t just send a copy of your credit card statement and circle the missing receipt. They need you to submit a receipt” said my boss.

“I don’t care how you get a receipt. Just make sure you attach something that matches the charge on your card and this will go away” he said and lifted his eyebrows and smiled when he said “something.”

Stuck in an Endless Loop

I quickly surveyed the internet and found the Fake Receipt Maker and Custom Receipt Maker sites that still stands today. This was okay, but I wanted more flexibility and formats to be supported. The Custom Receipt Maker tool only had very basic receipt input and the final product looked, well, really fake.

Two days later I had built a super simple prototype of ExpressExpense in PHP and mySQL and had it running on GoDaddy. The design was fairly crude, but the interface was extremely similar to the same one shown today. The input fields were on the left and the generated receipt on the right of the page. I showed a few friends who laughed and were amused by the idea. A friend of mine who was a sales rep showed more interested and gave me the idea of naming it “Expense Express” – which was already a taken domain name. Within minutes, I swapped the words around to make ExpressExpense and registered the domain name for $10.

The prototype website started getting some traffic and slowly it became clear this was a “thing.” As traffic grew, I eventually added another template. About 3 months later, a 3rd template was added. At some point within the first year of launching the site, I decided – just for fun – to charge for purchasing receipts. Initially, Paypal was used but was a complete pain-in-the-ass to manage the payments and refunds. Eventually, Stripe was utilized to collect the $1.99 per receipt payment. Some quick Excel models showed how much was being lost in the transaction fee by charging only $1.99 per receipt. A “membership” plan was born and cost $5.99 per year – which easily would dilute the $.30 per transaction cost. This pricing continued for around a year and then many websites were using a monthly membership pricing program. We switched to monthly pricing ($4.99 a month) and purchases actually continued to increase! More templates were added over time and around 2014 we had 20 receipt templates online.

How to Make a Receipt – Success Story

Make A Receipt

We recently assisted a customer who needed a receipt to prove they were the original owner of a product. This customer was the original owner, however, they had not kept the original receipt. The original receipt was required for a major warranty issue. The alternative was purchasing a new product – which has a price tag of over $1200 USD. The receipt needed to show that the purchase was made from an authorized retailer to allow the manufacturer to begin processing a warranty claim.

Unfortunately, the company that sold this customer the product was no longer in business. It seems the massive internet retailers had put this small shop out of business shortly after the original purchase. The customer was therefore unable to request that the store could re-print a copy of the original receipt.

This customer decided it was worth making a receipt as authentic to the original receipt as possible to insure that the manufacturer would honor the warranty claim and replace the failed component. The customer identified several receipt templates within the ExpressExpense receipt template inventory that might closely match the original retailer’s receipt. In this case, he determined the “Custom Logo Receipt 4” receipt template most closely resembled the original receipt.

The customer then used his credit card company’s website to find the date, time and amount of the original purchase. In this case, the original purchase price was $4289.95. The customer recalled that the main item was approximately 90% of this purchase total on the receipt and the other 10% of the purchase price were a few additional accessories.

Using the receipt template on ExpressExpense called the “Custom Logo Receipt 4” – the customer filled out the receipt fields carefully. Date and time of purchase, store name, store address, city, state, zip and phone were all entered into the receipt template to match the original location and time of purchase. The receipt template was then completed by adding details of each item purchased under the “Itemized Items” section of the online receipt maker. Quantity, item description and item price were all included to complete the template inputs. Sales tax was calculated and entered into the receipt template by referencing Avalara’s tax rate look-up tool (https://www.avalara.com/taxrates/en/calculator.html).

Once the receipt template form was completed, the customer adjusted the font typeface within the receipt maker tool and generated the customized receipt by clicking “Make Receipt.” The customer was also able to locate the (now permanently closed) store logo using Archive.org and Google Image search. This logo was uploaded to ExpressExpense and cropped to fit the receipt perfectly.

This customer took the additional step of printing the receipt to a thermal printer. Hopefully, this would guarantee this receipt would be accepted by the manufacturer. A bluetooth mobile printer was purchased for approximately $55 (remember, this is a $1200 warranty claim!) from Amazon.com and then downloaded free app called Express Thermal Print (by ExpressExpense) from the app store. Within a few minutes of installing the app, the receipt was printed to 80mm thermal receipt paper.

Since this original receipt was dated over 2 years ago, the customer decided to rapidly age the receipt to match what a 2 year old receipt would actually look like. The receipt was folded in half and lightly crumpled to reduce the crispy “brand new” appearance of the receipt. To age the receipt even further, the receipt was left in a window with direct sun for 1 day. This exposed the photo-senstive thermal paper to UV rays and caused the receipt paper to slightly discolor. This method of UV exposure is a very effective way to accelerate the aging of thermal printed receipts.

A few tips from this success story:

Sometimes it is necessary to create a receipt when you do not have the original receipt.
ExpressExpense’s receipt templates create authentic-looking receipts
Cross-reference credit card or bank statements for original purchase price
Consider adding any additional items to the receipt (ie: accessories)

Receipt Making Tips

How To Print Receipts to Zebra Thermal Printer

Receipts made using ExpressExpense can easily be printed using a thermal printer. There are many brands of thermal printers out there: Zebra, Epson, Rollo, Star, Dymo – to name a few. The important factor is the printer must be able to print JPG or PDF images.

Zebra brand thermal printers support printing JPGs directly to their devices. For the purpose of this article, we will use the Zebra iMZ320 – a beautifully designed mobile thermal printer that connects to iOS or Android via bluetooth. You can also use any of the iMZ, QLN or ZQ Series printers from Zebra.

You’ll need the ExpressExpense app (available on iOS or Android) and the Zebra Utilities (iOS / Android) app to get started.

First create your receipt using ExpressExpense and save the receipt. On Android, save to your Downloads location – as this is where the Zebra app looks for images to print. For iOS users, you need to copy the image to the Zebra Utilities app using iTunes. Connect your iPhone, open iTunes and then locate

Next, open the Zebra Utilities app and connect to your Bluetooth printer. Open the “Files” option from the Zebra app and find your receipt image in the “Images” folder.

If your receipt doesn’t match the image – change the printing setting from within the Zebra Utilities app. Setting Page Options to “Custom” and then choosing Page Width = 3 and Page Height = 6 will usually yield a properly scaled quality receipt.

This thermal printer also does a great job and is very affordable ($60 – $65).
