Free Art Commission Receipt Template
An art commission receipt covers the amount paid, the totals, and a short note confirming what happens next with final proofs.

The art gets approved, a payment goes through, and then the buyer needs paperwork that matches the commission without raising new questions right before production. This art commission receipt gives that confirmation in writing, with a clear totals block up front and one closing note underneath. The layout uses brass accents with violet buttons under Poppins headings and Roboto body text, so the page reads like a production document, not a portfolio page.
The Totals section holds the amount paid and the final figures, so the first thing the buyer sees is the number they’re filing against. The written line follows with a direct next step about final proofs, which helps when the buyer’s pressure is print readiness, consistency, and not having to rebuild artwork at prepress... and when the questions coming back sound like editorial illustration, children’s book illustration, or technical illustration.
In Plutio, you fill in the totals, send the receipt to a client, and take payment online if you’ve connected a payment method.

Questions about this receipt template
What should an art commission receipt include?
An art commission receipt usually includes the totals and the amount paid, plus a short confirmation note about what happens next. This template includes a Totals block and one written line about final proofs.
Is a receipt the same thing as an invoice for an art commission?
A receipt confirms money was paid, while an invoice asks for payment. This template is a receipt, so it focuses on the totals and confirmation rather than requesting payment.
When do you send a receipt for commissioned art?
A receipt gets sent after payment is made, so the buyer has something to file right away. The receipt gives a single place to confirm the paid amount and the totals.
Can a receipt mention next steps like proofs or revisions?
A receipt can include a short note about what happens next, as long as the receipt stays focused on recording the payment. This template includes a closing line about final proofs that you can edit.
Do you need to take payment online to use this receipt?
No, the receipt still works if payment happened elsewhere. Online payment is optional, and it needs a connected payment method.
What if the buyer is worried about print readiness and file usability?
A receipt won’t replace specs, but clear confirmation helps when the buyer needs confidence about what happens next. The written note in this template gives a direct proof-related next step to file with the payment.
