Everything you need for receipt printing
From template design to hardware management, ReceiptKit handles the complexity so you can focus on building your product.
Simple JSON API
Send a single POST request with your data — get a printed receipt. No printer drivers, no SDKs, no complexity.
Visual Template Editor
Drag-and-drop receipt designer with live preview. Starter templates included to get you printing in minutes.
Flexible Bridge Options
Run Receipt Bridge on a Windows PC you already own, or on a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 for a permanent always-on solution. Your choice.
Sub-300ms Prints
Edge rendering on your local machine means blazing fast prints. Templates render locally — the cloud only sends lightweight JSON.

Organizations, roles, and API keys. Org-scoped isolation ensures your data never leaks to another tenant.

How it works under the hood
Choose your deployment option
Run Receipt Bridge on a Windows PC you already own, or set up a low-cost Raspberry Pi 5 as a dedicated always-on print server.

It connects to ReceiptKit Cloud over the internet and forwards print jobs to your Star printer — either over your local network or via a direct USB connection. The app runs quietly in the background and sits in your system tray — no window to manage.
