Receipt API + Airtable: Database-Driven Receipts

Key Features
Generate receipt images when records are created or updated. Works with any Airtable table structure.
Choose thermal POS receipts with dot-matrix fonts and paper textures, or clean modern professional formats.
Map any Airtable columns to receipt fields—amounts, descriptions, dates, customer info, line items.
Automatically store generated receipt URLs back in Airtable records for easy access and reference.

Don't write JSON from scratch! Design your receipt visually in our receipt generator, then click "API Payload" to copy the exact JSON structure. Use that payload as your template—just swap in dynamic data (amounts, dates, customer names).
