Definition
A receipt is a piece of paper or digital record that shows you paid for something or received something. Stores, restaurants, and online shops usually give you one after a purchase.
Usage & Nuances
Most often used for proof of payment: 'keep the receipt', 'ask for a receipt', 'email receipt'. In everyday shopping, 'receipt' is more common than 'invoice' for customers. It can also mean the act of receiving in very formal language, but that use is uncommon.
