Most Common Mistakes when Generating an Email Receipt (and How to Fix Them)
Generating an email receipt should be a quick and seamless process, but many users encounter common mistakes that can lead to missing receipts, formatting errors, or incorrect details. In this guide, we'll go through the most frequent issues and how to fix them to ensure you get a perfect receipt every time.
1. Not Checking Your Spam Folder 📥
One of the biggest reasons users don’t receive their generated receipt is that it gets marked as spam. Many email providers automatically filter transactional emails into the spam or junk folder.
✅ How to Fix It:
Open your Spam or Junk folder.
Locate the email from RepReceipt.
Click "Not Spam" or "Move to Inbox" to ensure future emails land in your primary inbox.
2. Using the Wrong Email Address 📧
To generate a receipt successfully on RepReceipt, you must use the same email address linked to your account. If you enter a different email, you won’t receive the receipt.
✅ How to Fix It:
Always enter the correct email address associated with your RepReceipt account.
Double-check for typos before submitting.

3. Copying the Wrong Image URL 🖼️
If your receipt includes an image (such as a product or logo), copying the wrong image URL will result in a broken image on the final receipt.
How to Correctly Copy an Image URL
📌 On a Computer:
Right-click on the image.
Select "Copy image address" or "Copy image URL" (depending on your browser).
Paste it into the receipt generator.
📌 On a Mobile Device:
Tap and hold on the image.
Select "Copy" (iPhone, iPad) or "Copy image address" (Android).
Paste the copied URL into the designated field.
🚨 Mistake to Avoid: If you accidentally copy the page URL instead of the image URL, the image won't load correctly.
4. Keeping Dark Mode Activated 🌙
Using Dark Mode on your device can alter the way email receipts display, sometimes affecting text visibility or image clarity.
✅ How to Fix It:
Disable Dark Mode before generating your receipt for the best results.
On most devices, go to Settings → Display & Brightness and switch to Light Mode.
5. Entering an Incorrect URL for the Receipt 📝
Some users mistakenly enter an incomplete or incorrect URL when copying a receipt link.
How to Properly Copy the Receipt URL
📌 On a Computer:
Click on the address bar where the URL is displayed.
Ensure the entire link is highlighted.
Right-click → Copy, or press Ctrl + C (Windows) / Cmd + C (Mac).
Paste it where required.
📌 On a Mobile Device:
Tap on the address bar.
If it isn’t highlighted automatically, tap and hold to select it.
Tap "Copy", then paste the URL into the generator.
🚨 Mistake to Avoid: Make sure you copy the entire link—if even a single character is missing, the URL won't work.
