Overview

Why teams choose this workflow

1

Receipts are transactional media: one template, thousands of variable sets. Image receipts render perfectly in every email client, unlike PDFs that require a viewer.

2

Render branded receipts from order data via API and reuse across email, portal, and support flows. Reissue receipts instantly without manual intervention.

Deep Dive

The Context

E-commerce platforms, subscription services, and marketplaces need to send professional
receipts to customers. PDF receipts can be heavy and inconsistent across email clients. Image receipts
are lightweight, display perfectly in any email, and can be easily saved or shared. With Pictify's
receipt generator, you design your receipt template with your brand styling, bind order data like
items, prices, and totals, then generate receipt images via API whenever an order completes.

The same template works across email confirmations, customer portals, and support flows. When a
customer requests a receipt reissue, just call the API with the original order data and generate a
fresh image instantly — no manual work required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include multiple line items?
Yes. Use multiple rows or build a repeatable block in the template workspace.
Can I embed the receipt in email?
Yes. Use the generated image URL directly in your transactional emails for perfect rendering.
What about tax and currency formatting?
Use variables for currency symbol and tax values. The template renders whatever data you pass, so locale-specific formatting is fully supported.
