Find and print your receipt from the Orders page

The fastest way to print an Amazon receipt is through your account's Orders page. Log into Amazon, go to Returns in the top navigation menu, then select Your Orders. Find the order you need, and you'll see a Print receipt link on the right side of that order. Click it, and your browser will open the receipt in a new window — then use your keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+P on Windows, Command+P on Mac) or go to File > Print to send it to your printer.

This method works for almost every Amazon purchase, whether you bought it years ago or yesterday. The receipt shows your order number, items purchased, prices, shipping address, and payment method. If you don't see a Print receipt link, the order may be too old or from a third-party seller — scroll down to see if there's an alternative option or contact information for that seller instead.

Key Takeaways

  • The Print receipt link appears on your Orders page next to each purchase and opens the receipt in a new browser window.
  • You can print receipts for orders from years ago — Amazon keeps your order history indefinitely in your account.
  • If Print receipt doesn't appear, the order may be from a third-party seller, and you may need to contact that seller directly.
  • Your receipt includes your order number, items, prices, shipping address, and the date — everything you need for returns or warranty claims.
  • You can also save the receipt as a PDF by selecting "Save as PDF" from your printer options instead of printing to paper.

Save a receipt as a PDF instead of printing

If you want to keep a digital copy instead of printing to paper, the process is the same up to the print dialog. After you click Print receipt and your browser opens the receipt window, press Ctrl+P (Windows) or Command+P (Mac) to open the print dialog. Instead of selecting your printer, look for a dropdown menu that says Destination or Printer and change it to Save as PDF. Then click Save and choose where on your computer to store the file.

Saving as PDF is useful if you need the receipt for a warranty claim, return, or tax records — the file won't fade or get lost like a printed page can. Name the file something you'll recognize later, like "Amazon-Order-12345-Jan2024", so you can find it quickly when you need it.

Print a receipt for a third-party seller purchase

When you buy from a third-party seller on Amazon (not from Amazon itself), the Print receipt link may not appear on your Orders page. Instead, scroll down on that order's detail page and look for Contact seller or Seller information. Click it to open the seller's contact form, and ask them to send you a receipt. Most sellers respond within 24 hours with a receipt they can email directly to you.

If the seller doesn't respond or you need the receipt urgently, you can also take a screenshot of the order page itself — press Print Screen (Windows) or Shift+Command+3 (Mac), then paste it into a document or image editor. This won't be an official receipt, but it shows the order details and timestamp, which may be enough for a return or warranty claim.

What information appears on an Amazon receipt

Your Amazon receipt includes everything you need to track or return an order. At the top you'll see your order number (starts with a # symbol), the order date, and your shipping address. Below that is a list of every item in that order with its price, any discounts applied, and the subtotal. At the bottom you'll see the shipping cost (if any), tax, and your final total.

The receipt also shows your payment method (the last four digits of your card or the account you used) and an estimated delivery date if the item hasn't arrived yet. If you're returning something, you'll need your order number from this receipt, so keep it somewhere safe or save it as a PDF.

Troubleshoot if Print receipt doesn't appear

If you can't find a Print receipt link, first check that you're logged into the correct Amazon account — you can only print receipts for orders on the account that made the purchase. If you're on the right account and the link still isn't there, the order may be older than Amazon's standard retention period, though this is rare. Try searching for the order using the search box at the top of Your Orders, or filter by date range to narrow it down.

Another reason Print receipt might not show is if the order was placed through a business account, a gift card, or a third-party marketplace seller. In those cases, contact Amazon Customer Service through the Contact Us link at the bottom of any Amazon page, or reach out to the seller directly. Have your order number ready when you contact them — it makes the process faster.

Print receipts for digital purchases and subscriptions

If you bought a digital item (like an ebook, app, or music), the receipt process is the same, but the receipt won't show a shipping address — it will show a download link or redemption code instead. For subscriptions like Prime or Kindle Unlimited, go to Your Account > Memberships and subscriptions, find the subscription, and look for a receipt or billing history option. Click it to see past charges and print any receipt you need.

Digital receipts are especially important to keep if you need to prove you own a license or if you're returning a digital purchase. Amazon's return window for digital items is shorter than for physical goods, so print or save the receipt right away if you think you might return it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print a receipt for an order that's several years old?

Yes. Amazon keeps your order history indefinitely, so you can print receipts for purchases from years ago. Go to Your Orders, search for the order by date or product name, and the Print receipt link should appear. This is useful for warranty claims or if you need proof of purchase for an old item.

What if I lost my order number and need a receipt?

Go to Your Orders and search by the product name, seller name, or approximate date of purchase. Once you find the order, the order number appears at the top of the order details page. Write it down or take a screenshot, then use the Print receipt link as normal.

Can I print a receipt for someone else's Amazon order?

No. You can only print receipts for orders on your own account. If you need a receipt for a gift someone else ordered, ask them to print it and send it to you, or contact Amazon Customer Service with proof that you're authorized to receive it.

Does printing a receipt affect my return window?

No. Printing a receipt doesn't change your return deadline — Amazon's return window is based on the order date, not when you print the receipt. Most items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, regardless of whether you've printed the receipt.

What should I do if the Print receipt button is greyed out or missing?

Try refreshing the page or logging out and back in. If it still doesn't appear, the order may be from a third-party seller — scroll down to find their contact information and request a receipt directly from them. You can also contact Amazon Customer Service for help retrieving a receipt.
