Payment Receipts
Generate and print payment receipts for patients after recording payments
Overview
Payment receipts in SehaFile serve as official proof of payment for patients. After recording any payment, you can generate a formatted receipt that includes the clinic branding, patient details, payment amount, method, reference number, and the associated invoice number. Receipts can be printed on standard A4 paper or thermal receipt printers.

- Record the Payment: First, record the payment through Financial > Payments > + Record Payment (see Recording Payments article for details).
- View Payment Details: After saving, you are redirected to the payment confirmation screen. Alternatively, navigate to Financial > Payments and click on any payment in the list.
- Click Print Receipt: On the payment detail view, click the Print Receipt (طباعة إيصال) button in the top-right corner.
- Receipt Preview: A print preview opens showing:
- Clinic Header - Clinic name (Arabic and English), logo, address, phone, and tax registration number
