Definition & Explanation

Once a payment – for freight, customs fees, or services – is processed, the payer needs a digital or printed record. Automated payment receipt systems handle this by capturing payment details (amount, date, transaction ID, recipient) and immediately generating a structured document delivered via email or shipment portal. For the payer, this eliminates the need to manually request a receipt from the billing department; for the billing team, it removes the labour-intensive receipt creation. Such receipts also serve as evidence for audits and accounting reconciliation.
