What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt for my subscription payment?

When managing your Get on Board subscription as a company, you may encounter both invoice and receipt in your account and finance workflows. They are related documents, but each serves a different purpose.

Practical difference

1. Invoice: billing document for a subscription charge.
2. Receipt: proof that a specific payment was completed.

What each document usually includes

1. Invoice: billing details, invoice number, charge breakdown, and invoice document links.
2. Receipt: paid amount, payment date, receipt number, and payment method details.

Which one to use

1. If finance asks for the billing/tax document, use the invoice.
2. If finance asks for payment confirmation, use the receipt.
3. If VAT handling applies (for example, Chile-issued cards), confirm your tax status settings in your account.

Important note

Accounting requirements can vary by country, payment method, and internal policy. For tax interpretation, confirm with your finance or accounting team.
