Use cases for the Receipt Image Generator API

The Receipt Image template is the shortest path to a working receipt image generator api from your stack. Send a small JSON payload, get back a tested PNG that fits your brand. No browser, no headless Chrome wrangling, no design tooling on your side.

Common reasons people reach for this template:

Order confirmation email images
Post-purchase thank-you screens
Shareable purchase receipts

How it works

Send a JSON payload

POST to the template endpoint with the values you want rendered. Authenticate with your API key.

We render the image

The template is rendered server-side as a 1200x630 PNG (or whatever dimensions the template defines).

You get back a URL

The response includes a CDN URL for the PNG. Cache it, embed it, attach it to a tweet, anything you need.

Quick example

A single cURL call to render a Receipt Image as a PNG:

curl -X POST https://app.html2img.com/api/v1/templates/receipt-image \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"business_name":"Studio Ink","order_number":"#A8421-9032","order_date":"Apr 30, 2026","customer_name":"Jamie Park","customer_email":"[email protected]","items":[{"name":"Botanical print, A2","qty":"2","amount":"$58.00"},{"name":"Hand-bound notebook","qty":"1","amount":"$24.00"},{"name":"Letterpress card pack","qty":"3","amount":"$36.00"}],"subtotal":"$118.00","shipping":"$8.00","tax_amount":"$10.40","total":"$136.40","thank_you_message":"Thanks for supporting independent makers.","accent_color":"#B45309"}'
