I Built a Free Gift Receipt Generator (Because Square Charges $29+/Month)

Description and use

A free, browser‑based gift receipt generator that eliminates Square’s monthly fees and lets small retailers quickly create branded PDF receipts.

Problem

Small retail businesses were forced to pay $29+/month for Square just to generate simple gift receipts, which was excessive for occasional use.

Outcome

The tool eliminates monthly fees, offers full branding control, and provides instant PDF export, making it a cost‑effective alternative to Square for small retailers.

Workflow

• Open the web app in a browser
• Enter store name and address for branding
• Input customer name and optional line items (name & price)
• Click "Generate PDF" to create a formatted receipt
• Save or print the PDF directly from the browser

Evidence

Gift Receipt Generator runs 100% in your browser.
