How do I get a receipt for subscriptions?

Under my Adobe ID account billing statements, I see a list of invoices, but no receipts for subscription products.  When I buy a subscription product, I get an e-mail that says "thanks for your purchase" to confirm I paid, but I only get that e-mail once, not each month when my card is charged.  I can log on to see the list of invoices in billing history, but they only say how much I was billed.  The invoices do not show how much I paid for what I was billed, or when the card was charged, or what the last four digits of the card number were.  That's the difference between an invoice and a receipt.  Businesses need receipts to confirm that they paid for invoices, to prove business expenses for taxes.  It's business 101.

If this does not belong in "Downloading, Installing, Setting Up" please let me know what category this should be in.

You should contact customer service via chat. Adobe customer care can be contacted by beginning a secure chat session at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen.

Important: Adobe does NOT contact you unsolicited by e-mail or direct message. If you get contacted by direct message from a person, claiming to be an Adobe employee, look at that profile and check if they bear the “Adobe Employee” marking under their name. Adobe support does not use Skype to give you support.
If in doubt, ask the forum.

yes i guess the only way to get a reciept is to request it annually  through custimer chat as your subscription is renewed. And the reciepts that do send are not was you would expect.

Still waiting for this basic feature in 2022.

Agree with all the above. I am in NZ and require a receipt (proof of payment), not just an invoice for tax purposes. Very frustrating!

use your payment method. if credit card, use that to show payment.

The IRS requires the following in a receipt:

 

 1. Name of vendor (person or company you paid)
2. Transaction date (when you paid)
3. Detailed description of goods or services purchased (what you bought)
4. Amount paid
5. Form of payment (how you paid – cash, check, or last four digits of credit card

 

The Adobe Invoice does not include form of payment and transaction date.  

 

Adobe........this is basic stuff.  Businesses need RECEIPTS not invoices.  Help make being a customer of your not a hassle, please.

If they do that, then you get a reminder of the expense. There is no doubt that they rely on many users forgetting about the subscription and allowing the card to be charged recurringly.

That is an invoice, not a receipt.  It does not state that the invoice was paid, and does not state what payment method was used nor when.

Well they are very common in the U.S.  It's also extremely inconvenient to print a screenshot of my bank website ledger to save a receipt in my accounting program associated with each individual transaction.

Adobe sends a receipt by e-mail for any one-time purchase and for the first transaction of subscription purchases.  There is no reason why they should not also send or provide access to a receipt for each subsequent transaction of a subscription.


Did you ever find out an answer to this question? I need a receipt of payment as well...
