What a bar receipt may show of your card
Federal law limits this, and the limit is specific. 15 U.S.C. § 1681c(g) (opens in a new tab) bars any business that accepts cards from printing more than the last five digits of the card number, or the expiry date at all, on the receipt handed to the cardholder at the point of sale. Most merchants print four digits rather than five, which is inside the rule.
It is why a genuine bar receipt shows something like "VISA ****4821" and never the full number. A recreated receipt should follow the same convention — our builder takes only the last four digits for that reason. The rule governs the printed customer copy, so it is one of the few receipt details that is a legal requirement rather than a merchant's house style.
Bar receipt FAQ
How do I add gratuity to a bar receipt?
Use the tip field for gratuity — it is added after tax like a genuine bar tab. For large groups you can mirror an automatic 18% service charge by calculating it from the subtotal and entering that amount as the tip.
