Frequently asked question Donors

What is the difference between a certificate, a receipt, and an invoice?

These are documents with different purposes and potentially different issuers.

Reading time 1 min

The receipt contains payment details. The donation certificate documents the contribution according to the issuing organization’s conditions. An invoice corresponds to a transaction that must be billed, such as a contracted service. A bank receipt does not automatically replace the certificate, and a donation does not necessarily generate an invoice. Check which document you need and who must issue it for your transaction.
