A mc receipt shows what the customer paid for, each amount in Naira, the total and how they paid. Give an MC receipt for the deposit and the balance. The free generator below is already set up for MCs and comperes: fill it in, then download the PDF or send it on WhatsApp.
What to include on a MC Receipt
- Your business name, address and phone number
- Receipt number and date
- Client name
- Each item with quantity and price in Naira
- Total paid and how it was paid: cash, transfer or POS
- Event date
Example: a filled MC Receipt
A couple books an MC for the traditional engagement and reception. They pay a deposit, and the receipt shows the balance.
MC service (wedding reception): 1 x ₦300,000 = ₦300,000
Traditional engagement MC: 1 x ₦150,000 = ₦150,000
Transport: 1 x ₦30,000 = ₦30,000
Total: ₦480,000. These amounts are examples; use your own prices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- No event date
- No balance
- No receipt for the deposit
- Not writing how the customer paid (cash, transfer or POS)
Need a different document?
- Asking for payment before the job or delivery? Use a mc invoice.
- Customer paying only part of the total today? Use the free part payment receipt.
How MCs and comperes use a receipt
MCs are booked weeks ahead and paid a deposit to hold the date. A receipt for each payment shows the event and the balance.
Writing the items on a mc receipt
Use one line for each thing the customer paid for, named the way your customers know it, for example MC service, Traditional engagement MC, Transport. Enter the quantity and the price for one unit, and the generator works out each line and the total. Then choose how the customer paid, cash, transfer or POS, because that is the first thing anyone checks when a payment is questioned.
Tips for MCs and comperes
- Write the event date and venue.
- Show deposit and balance.
- List each event if booked for more than one.
After the customer pays
Send the receipt as soon as the money arrives, while the customer is still with you or on the phone. Keep a copy: at the end of the day, compare your receipts with your POS slips and bank alerts, so you know exactly what came in and nothing is missed.
