A bilingual 收据 for US businesses
Receipt books sold in China and Hong Kong print a 收款收据 slip: a red serial number, the date, 今收到 (received from), the purpose of the payment, the amount in Chinese capital numerals (金额大写, written 壹贰叁 to prevent alteration) and in figures, ticks for cash, check or card, and spaces for the company stamp, the person who received the money and the person who handled it. This chinese receipt follows that slip with English sub-labels in US dollars, for herbal shops, restaurants, tutors and landlords in Chinese-speaking communities.

FAQs
What is the difference between 收据 and 发票?
A 收据 is an ordinary receipt any business can write. A 发票 (fapiao) is China's official tax invoice issued only through the tax authority's system; this page makes a 收据, not a fapiao.
How do I write the amount in Chinese capital numerals?
Use 零壹贰叁肆伍陆柒捌玖 with 拾佰仟万 and 元角分, and end with 整 when there are no cents. For example, $1,200 is 美元壹仟贰佰元整 and $286.50 is 美元贰佰捌拾陆元伍角.
Simplified or Traditional characters?
Older Chinatowns such as Manhattan mostly use Traditional (收據); newer Mandarin-speaking areas lean Simplified (收据). Type either into the fields.
Are the example details real?
No. The shop, payer, check and serial number are fictional examples.
