You can print an Amazon receipt from your order history in a few clicks, either as a PDF or directly to your printer

Amazon stores every receipt in your account. You do not need to dig through email or contact customer service. Open the order in your account, select "Invoice" or "Print," and choose whether to save it as a PDF file or send it straight to a printer. The whole process takes less than a minute.

You might need a receipt to return something, file a warranty claim, track a business expense, or straightforward keep your records organized. Amazon keeps receipts available for years, so you can retrieve an old one whenever you need it.

Key Takeaways

  • Go to Your Orders in your Amazon account, find the order you need, and click "Invoice" to see the receipt.
  • You can print the receipt directly to your printer or read it as a PDF file to your computer.
  • Amazon receipts show the item, price, shipping address, and order date — everything you need for returns or records.
  • If you ordered as a guest without an account, you will need your order number and email address to look up the receipt on Amazon's website.

Finding your order in Your Orders

Log into your Amazon account and go to "Returns & Orders" or "Your Orders" — the exact name depends on which Amazon site you use, but it is always in the top right menu next to your account name. You will see a list of all your recent orders with dates and item names.

If you are looking for an old order, use the search box at the top of the page. Type the item name or order number, and Amazon will filter the list. Orders stay in your account for years, so even a purchase from two years ago should appear here.

Opening the receipt and choosing how to print

Click on the order you need. The order details page will open, showing what you bought, the price, and the shipping address. Look for a button or link that says "Invoice" or "Print Order" — it is usually near the top right of the order details, sometimes under a menu marked with three dots.

Click that button. A new window or tab will open showing your receipt in a format ready to print. At this point you have two choices: print it directly to your printer using Ctrl+P (Windows) or Command+P (Mac), or read it as a PDF file by clicking "Save as PDF" in the print dialog.

What information appears on your Amazon receipt

Your Amazon receipt includes the order number, order date, item name and quantity, price per item, subtotal, any taxes or shipping charges, and the total amount you paid. It also shows the shipping address and the payment method you used (though the full card number is hidden for security).

If you used a discount code or gift card, that will show on the receipt too. The receipt does not include your full credit card number or billing address unless you specifically request an invoice for business purposes.

Saving a PDF instead of printing to paper

Downloading a PDF is often easier than printing to paper, especially if you want to keep digital copies organized in folders on your computer. When you open the print dialog (Ctrl+P or Command+P), look for a dropdown menu that says "Destination" or "Printer." Click it and select "Save as PDF" instead of a printer name.

Choose where you want to save the file on your computer — your Downloads folder, Documents, or a folder you created for receipts. Give it a name that makes sense, like "Amazon-Order-12345-Jan2024," so you can find it later. The PDF will read and you can open it anytime without needing to log into Amazon again.

What to do if you ordered as a guest

If you checked out without creating an Amazon account, you will not have a "Your Orders" page to log into. Instead, go to Amazon's "Find Your Orders" page (you can search for this on Amazon's website). Enter the email address you used for the purchase and your order number, which should be in your confirmation email.

Amazon will display your order details and receipt. You can print or read it the same way as an account holder. Keep in mind that guest receipts stay available for a limited time — usually around 90 days — so read or print it sooner rather than later if you think you might need it later.

Printing multiple receipts at once

If you need receipts for several orders — for a return, a business report, or your records — you can print them one at a time using the method above, but there is no built-in way to read all receipts at once. Open each order, print or read the receipt, and save them with clear names so you can find them later.

Some people create a folder on their computer called "Amazon Receipts" and save PDFs there by month or year. This makes it much easier to find a specific receipt six months later without having to log into Amazon and search again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a receipt if I did not receive a confirmation email?

Yes. Log into your Amazon account, go to Your Orders, and find the order there. The receipt is stored in your account regardless of whether the email arrived. If you ordered as a guest, use the Find Your Orders page with your email and order number.

Does Amazon email me a receipt automatically?

Amazon sends a confirmation email when you place an order, but that is not the same as a receipt. The confirmation shows what you ordered and the total. The full receipt with tax, shipping, and itemized details is only available in your account or through the print function.

What if I need a receipt for something I returned?

The original receipt is still in your order history even after you return the item. Go to Your Orders, find the order, and print the receipt as usual. If you need proof of the return itself, Amazon also provides a return receipt when the item is picked up or delivered back.

Can I print a receipt for a gift I received from someone else?

Only the person who placed the order can print the receipt from their account. If you received a gift and need the receipt for a return or warranty claim, ask the person who bought it to print it and send it to you, or contact Amazon customer service with your order number.

Is the PDF receipt the same as the printed version?

Yes. The PDF contains the same information as the printed receipt. Both are official records of your purchase and work equally well for returns, warranties, or record-keeping.
