Invoicing as a sole trader
As a self-employed sole trader you invoice under your own name or a trading name rather than a company. The document still needs to show who you are, who the client is, and what they owe.
Receipt Caker gives you a clean itemized layout for exactly that. Enter your details once, add your lines, and you have a professional invoice without spreadsheets or design work.
Itemize the work clearly
List each service or product on its own line with an amount, or a quantity and rate where that fits. A clear breakdown helps the client understand the charge and pay without questions.
Every line feeds the subtotal, and the total updates live as you type, so you can confirm the figure before you export and send the invoice yourself.
Keeping tidy records
A unique invoice number and issue date on every invoice make your income easy to track for your own bookkeeping and any tax return you file.
Receipt Caker does not do your accounting or sync with any software. It produces the invoice document, and you keep the exported files for your records however you prefer.
Free to build, Pro to polish
You can build the full invoice and export a watermarked PNG for free, with no account. That is enough for many sole traders getting paid by regular clients.
If you want a watermark-free PDF and your own logo for a more branded look, upgrade to Pro. Either way, sending the invoice and collecting payment stays in your hands.
