How it works

1. Fill the form Enter shop info (saved for reuse), seller ID, item details, and the loan amount.

2. Generate PDF Click "Generate PDF & Save" — pdf-lib assembles a formatted pawn ticket entirely in your browser.

3. Print or save The PDF opens in a new tab. Print two copies — one for the customer (pledgor), one for your records.

4. Running ledger Every ticket is stored in localStorage (date-sorted). Export the full ledger as CSV at any time.

Redemption formula: Total Due = Loan Amount × (1 + Rate ÷ 100). Example: $200 loan at 10% → $200 × 1.10 = $220.00 due. All processing is local — no data is sent to any server.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pawn ticket and what must it include?: A pawn ticket (also called a pledge receipt or collateral loan agreement) is the document a pawnbroker gives a customer when accepting an item as collateral for a short-term cash loan. Most U.S. state pawn regulations require it to contain: the pledgor's name and ID info, a description of the pledged item, the loan amount, any fees or interest rate, the redemption date, and the shop's license number. This generator covers all of those fields. Always verify your local jurisdiction's specific requirements before use.
Is the data I enter sent anywhere?: No. All processing runs entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib JavaScript library loaded from a CDN. Your shop info and transaction ledger are stored only in your browser's localStorage — they never leave your device. Clearing your browser data will erase the ledger, so export a CSV backup regularly if you need a permanent record.
How is the redemption (total due) amount calculated?: Redemption = Loan Amount × (1 + Interest Rate ÷ 100). For a $500 loan at 15%: $500 × 1.15 = $575.00. This is a simple flat-rate calculation. If your jurisdiction uses compound interest or a fixed flat fee, you can override the auto-calculated field by unlocking it, or adjust the rate accordingly. Always disclose all fees to the pledgor as required by law.
Can I reuse my shop information across multiple tickets?: Yes. Your shop name, license number, address, and phone are saved to localStorage as soon as you type them. They reload automatically every time you open the page and pre-fill every new ticket — you only need to enter them once. The seller and item fields must be filled fresh for each transaction.
How do I export my transaction records?: Click the "Export CSV" button in the Ledger section. The download includes all saved tickets with ticket number, date, seller name, ID info, item description, category, condition, loan amount, interest rate, redemption amount, due date, and shop details — ready to open in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet app for bookkeeping or compliance reporting.
