Word origin
小票 (xiǎopiào, "small receipt") combines 小 (xiǎo, "small") with 票 (piào, "ticket or paper slip"), literally presenting a compact transaction slip.
Usage tips
- For tax, reimbursement, or business records, a formal invoice may be required instead of this ordinary checkout paper, so the two documents should not be treated as interchangeable.
