What the receipt shows and how it is made, where the sources gave no answer. Open one to see why.

What it shows

  • The receipt is an A4 PDF in NTB's brand colours, with everything bought, the VAT and the license terms.R1

    There's no design for the receipt, so it follows the letter in NTB's brand guide: logo top left, the seller's addresses in a narrow left column, buyer and date at the top, set in Geist with Lava and Dyp mørkerød.

  • NTB's addresses on the receipt come from the brand guide's letterhead.R2

    The brand guide's letterhead has NTB's addresses; the checkout design's footer had a different one.

  • Every buyer, company or private, sees amounts including VAT and the same VAT breakdown.R7

    Before, companies saw prices without VAT and private buyers with. Ferdinand (UX) decided everyone sees prices including VAT with the same breakdown.

  • A receipt keeps a copy of the order, so it shows what was paid even if prices change later.R3

    A receipt must show what was bought and paid, even if prices or the cart change later.

How it's made

  • What you see on screen is exactly what prints and what goes in the PDF.R4

    One thing to design and check.

  • The PDF is made from the copy of the site running on this machine, so it also works when shared through a tunnel.R5

    Through a tunnel (ngrok), Chrome got the tunnel's warning page instead of the receipt.

  • The receipt has its own sample orders and works without any prototype.R6

    A feature must work on its own, and prototypes may change their sample data freely.
