Hi. How can we help?

Printing or emailing sales receipts

Printing receipts after a sale

If the current register you're using is set up to automatically print receipts, once you've completed the sale, the receipt will print.

Printing on desktop

If your store doesn't have automatic receipt printing turned on, you can print a copy of the receipt before completing the sale by clicking Print on the Payment received screen.

Emailing receipts after a sale

If your register has the Email receipt setting enabled, you'll be prompted to enter the customer's email address at checkout. If you've added a customer with an email address in Retail POS to the sale, their email will automatically be entered.

The emailed receipt will automatically be sent to the customer upon completion of the sale unless you toggle the option off on the Payment received page.
