Automated PDF Sales Receipt Generator
Budget: £2 – £5 GBP
I need a small program that will take order data I supply—customer name and contact details, a fully itemised list of products or services, and the payment method—and turn it into a polished sales receipt in PDF format.
You are free to choose the stack you are most comfortable with as long as the result is a one-click or command-line solution that I can run on Windows. Popular libraries such as Python + ReportLab, JavaScript + PDFKit, or similar are all perfectly acceptable; just keep external dependencies to a minimum and make the setup process straightforward.
Deliverables
• Source code with clear inline comments
• A simple README explaining how to install any dependencies and run the generator
• One sample JSON, CSV, or similar input file showing the required fields (customer details, item list with quantities/prices, payment method)
• The PDF output that matches the sample data
Acceptance criteria
• Generated PDF displays my logo and today’s date, followed by customer information, an itemised table with quantities, unit prices, subtotals, tax, and grand total, plus the chosen payment method.
• Layout is clean, professional, and prints correctly on A4 or Letter without clipping.
• Running the script with new data instantly produces an updated receipt without manual editing.
If this sounds like your kind of task, let me know what language you plan to use and roughly how long you’ll need to deliver a first draft.
