Example: a filled Satellite Installer Receipt
A customer pays for a decoder installation with 20 metres of cable. The receipt lists the work and the cable.
Dish and decoder installation: 1 x ₦15,000 = ₦15,000
Coaxial cable (per metre): 20 x ₦300 = ₦6,000
Dish relocation: 1 x ₦10,000 = ₦10,000
Total: ₦31,000. These amounts are examples; use your own prices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not stating what work was done
- Charging for cable without the length
- No record of the address
- Not writing how the customer paid (cash, transfer or POS)
Need a different document?
- Asking for payment before the job or delivery? Use a satellite installer invoice.
- Customer paying only part of the total today? Use the free part payment receipt.
How satellite TV and decoder installers use a receipt
Satellite installers fix dishes, decoders and cables for homes, hotels and offices. Most jobs are small cash or transfer payments, and a receipt is what the customer keeps.
Writing the items on a satellite installer receipt
Use one line for each thing the customer paid for, named the way your customers know it, for example Dish and decoder installation, Coaxial cable, Dish relocation. 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 satellite TV and decoder installers
- Write what was installed or fixed.
- Put cable length and price per metre.
- Note the address in case the customer calls you back.
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.
