Email a receipt
Send the guest their receipt by email from the Paid screen, with the receipt as a PDF.
On this page
A guest who wants no paper can have the receipt by email. You send it from the Paid screen, straight after payment. It needs the internet, because the email goes out through the cloud.
The email box
- Email: opens the email box. Press it again to close it.
- The address: type the guest's email address.
- Send: sends the receipt. It says Sending… while it goes.
- Emailed to siti@example.com, with the receipt as a PDF.: it has gone.
On Android, Email opens a window, Email this receipt: type in Email address and press Send.
Send it
- On the Paid screen, press Email.
- Type the guest's address, such as siti@example.com.
- Press Send.
- Wait for Emailed to siti@example.com. Then press Exit.
While you type, the Paid screen does not close by itself: it says Waiting while the email address is typed.
The guest gets an email titled Your receipt from Kopitiam Demo — HQ-000123, with the receipt in it and the same receipt as a PDF file.
For an earlier bill, open Last bill, find the bill and press Email there.
WhatsApp is not set up yet: nothing is sent. Print or email the receipt instead.
If something goes wrong
- Emailing a receipt needs the internet, and this POS cannot reach the cloud right now.: print the receipt now, or email it from Last bill once the internet is back.
- This bill has not reached the cloud yet, so it cannot be emailed.: wait a minute for the POS to send it, then press Send again.
- That email address does not look right. Check it and try again.: correct the address and press Send.
