A receipt for your year together, a trip or a gift, with a barcode that scans.

On the receipt

Leave the price empty for the things that are priceless: they print without an amount.

Prices in
Roll
Print on

Type what goes on the receipt: movie nights, pancakes, rides to the airport, each with how many and a price in hearts, dollars, euros or pounds. The little printer on the stage prints it line by line on the 42 columns of an 80 mm till roll (32 on 58 mm), adds up the total and puts your words into a Code 128 barcode that a barcode scanner app reads. Save it as a picture for a story, print it at its true width on Letter or A4, or print it straight onto a receipt roll. Everything happens in your browser; there is no account.

Four receipts to start from

Start fromOn it
Our year togethermovie nights, pancakes and hugs, priced in hearts
A gift to opentickets, a dinner and a day with no chores, as a gift receipt without prices
A tripgelato, espresso and train tickets in euros, the sunsets left priceless
A birthdaybedtime stories and packed lunches, for a parent’s birthday

Change every line: the printer prints again as you type, and the total follows.

On a real till roll

  1. An 80 mm roll prints 72 mm wide: 42 characters to a line, 3.6 mm apart.
  2. A 58 mm roll prints 48 mm wide: 32 characters to a line, 3.2 mm apart.
  3. The name at the top is twice as wide and twice as tall, the way receipt printers print a heading; the total is twice as tall.
  4. A long item wraps onto the next line and its amount stays at the right edge; how many and the price each go on a line underneath.

More gifts to make at home are on the Christmas page.

Questions

Does the barcode really scan?

Yes. It is Code 128, the kind of barcode on most parcel labels, and it carries the words you type: letters, digits and punctuation, up to 24 characters. A barcode scanner app reads it from the screen or from the print and shows your words.

What size does it print?

At its true width: 80 mm (3 1/8 inches, the common till roll) or 58 mm (2 1/4 inches), and as long as its lines need. The sample is 80 by 131 mm. On US Letter or A4 it sits in a dashed frame to cut out; with "The roll itself" the page is exactly the receipt.

Can I print it on a real receipt printer?

Choose "The roll itself": the page is as wide as the roll and as long as the receipt. Print it at actual size (100 %) from the printer's own driver. Thermal paper fades in sunlight, so keep the picture too.

Why does it say "Not a proof of purchase"?

Because it is a keepsake. There is no shop address, tax number or card line on it, and that small line at the bottom says so to anyone who finds it later. It stays on every receipt.

What does "Leave the prices off" do?

It prints a gift receipt: the things and how many of each, with no amounts and no total, the way a shop's gift receipt hides what the present cost. It suits a gift of an experience: tickets, a dinner, a day off.
