Warehouse Club Receipt Generator
Create itemized warehouse club receipts with 12-digit membership numbers, bulk item codes, Kirkland Signature product formatting, instant savings lines, and food vs. taxable sales splits. Free. Download as PNG or PDF.
Warehouse club receipts (Costco, Sam's Club, BJ's) include the membership number, warehouse location, itemized products with bulk-pack quantities and item numbers, per-item tax codes (A for taxable, E for exempt), subtotal, sales tax, total, payment method, and instant savings or coupon discounts. Membership tiers run $60/yr (basic) to $120/yr (executive with 2% rewards). Common bulk purchases include 30-roll toilet paper ($25), 2-gallon milk ($8), and rotisserie chicken ($5).
How Warehouse Club Receipts Differ from Standard Retail
A warehouse club receipt has a format that reflects the membership-based business model. The most visible difference is the membership number in both the header and footer, which ties every transaction to a specific account. Item lines use a short 5 to 6 digit item number rather than a 12-digit UPC, and private-label products carry a KS prefix for Kirkland Signature. Instant savings appear as separate negative lines rather than as reduced unit prices.
The tax section splits food and non-food sales into two separate subtotals before applying the state rate only to taxable merchandise. This two-bucket structure matters for anyone splitting a warehouse purchase between a business and personal budget, or documenting an FSA-eligible food purchase for reimbursement.
Warehouse Club Membership Tiers
| Membership Tier | Annual Fee | Cashback Reward | Receipt Notation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Star | $65 | None | 12-digit member number in footer |
| Executive | $130 | 2% on qualifying purchases, up to $1,000/yr | Member number + Executive designation |
| Business | $65 | None | Member number + business name |
| Business Executive | $130 | 2% on qualifying purchases, up to $1,000/yr | Member number + business name + Executive |
Membership fees and reward rates reflect Costco Wholesale pricing as of 2025. Executive reward is credited annually in February and applied as a reward certificate redeemable in warehouse.

Warehouse Club Receipt: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the membership number on a warehouse club receipt?
Costco prints a 12-digit membership number in both the store header and the receipt footer. The number identifies the member account, links the transaction to the membership tier, and is required for returns and Executive member reward calculations. The generator lets you enter any 12-digit number to match the actual member account.
How are bulk items and instant savings shown on a warehouse club receipt?
Each item line shows a 5 to 6 digit item number, the item description, quantity, and unit price. Kirkland Signature items carry a KS prefix in their descriptions. Instant savings print as a separate negative-amount line item below the affected product, not as a per-unit price reduction, which is how Costco POS systems actually record them.
What payment methods does a Costco warehouse club receipt show?
Costco accepts the Costco Anywhere Visa by Citi as its co-branded credit card, along with debit cards, cash, checks, and EBT for eligible food items. The generator supports all of these payment options, each printing with masked digits in the standard format.
How does Costco's return policy affect the receipt?
Costco's return policy is not printed on the receipt itself. Members rely on the membership number and item number to initiate a return at any warehouse. The receipt is used to confirm the purchase date and price. The generator creates a receipt with the membership number in the footer so returns can be processed at the service desk.
How is tax calculated on a warehouse club receipt?
Food items such as produce, dairy, meat, and packaged groceries are tax-exempt in most states; general merchandise is taxable at the standard rate. Costco receipts show FOOD SALES and TAXABLE SALES as separate subtotals. The generator applies the correct treatment based on the tax flag set for each line item.
Can I generate a Costco-branded warehouse club receipt?
Yes. The Costco generator linked from this page reproduces the Costco Wholesale header, Kirkland Signature item format, 12-digit membership number, Costco Anywhere Visa payment option, and the THANK YOU PLEASE COME AGAIN footer. Use this generic template when Costco-specific branding is not required.
