Self-Employed Receipt Requirements
As a self-employed professional (therapist, psychologist, etc.) in Turkey, you are required to issue a "Serbest Meslek Makbuzu" (Self-Employed Receipt) for every payment you receive from clients.
What is a Serbest Meslek Makbuzu?
A Serbest Meslek Makbuzu (SMM) is a legal receipt that self-employed professionals must issue for their services in Turkey. It's registered with the Revenue Administration (GİB) and serves as official documentation for both your income and your client's expenses.
When Must You Issue a Receipt?
You must issue a receipt for every payment you receive, regardless of the payment method:
Payment via Link
Receipt required after payment is confirmed.
Manual Payment (Cash/Transfer)
Receipt required at the time of payment.

Your Accounting Options
Mindora offers multiple ways to manage your accounting needs:
Paraşüt Integration
- Automatic receipt creation directly from Mindora
- Sync client data with Paraşüt.
- Payment status automatically updates after receipt is issued.
- View all receipts in one place.
CSV Export
- Export all payment data to CSV format.
- Compatible with any accounting software.
- Filter by date range, client, or status.
- Already available in Payments page.
Prerequisites
Before issuing receipts through Parasut, you must complete the e-SMM activation in your Parasut account (digital signature/seal + e-SMM application). Without this, only regular sales invoices will be created instead of official e-SMM receipts.
See the detailed activation steps →How Paraşüt Integration Works
Once you connect your Paraşüt account, you can issue receipts directly from Mindora:
Connect Your Account
Go to Settings > Integrations and connect your Paraşüt account. See our detailed setup guide →
Client Data Sync
Client information (name, TC/Tax ID) is automatically synced with Paraşüt.
Issue Receipt
After a payment is confirmed, click "Issue Receipt" in the payment details.
Automatic Status Update
Payment status is locked after receipt is issued to ensure data integrity.
Once you issue a receipt through Paraşüt, the payment status is locked. This prevents accidental changes that would create inconsistencies between your records in Mindora and your accounting software.
You can still view and edit the status, but you'll see a warning that a receipt has already been issued.
When you click "Issue Receipt", Mindora first creates a sales invoice in Paraşüt and then issues the e-SMM receipt. If the e-SMM step fails (for example, if e-SMM activation is not completed in your Paraşüt account), Mindora automatically cleans up the invoice and shows you an error message.
No incomplete records are left behind — you can simply fix the issue (e.g. complete e-SMM activation) and try again.
Using CSV Export
If you prefer to use your own accounting method or a different software, you can export your payment data:
Go to Payments Page
Navigate to Management > Payments from the header menu.
Set Your Filters
Filter payments by date range, client, payment status, or any other criteria.
Click Export
Click the "Export CSV" button in the top right corner.
Use in Your Software
Import the CSV file into your accounting software (Paraşüt, Excel, etc.).
What's Included in CSV Export
The exported CSV file includes all the data you need for your receipts:
- Client name and contact information
- Session date and time
- Session fee amount
- Payment status
- Payment method (link, manual)
- Payment date
Best Practices
Issue receipts promptly
Issue the receipt as soon as payment is confirmed to avoid forgetting or making errors.
Match amounts exactly
The receipt amount should match the session fee in Mindora exactly.
Keep client data current
Ensure client TC/Tax ID is up to date for accurate receipts.
Export regularly
Export your data monthly for backup and reconciliation.
