Emailing Receipts

Automated Emails:

 

Receipts for checked-out reservations are automatically linked to in your 'check out email,' and receipts for non-reservation transactions are automatically sent using the new receipt email. These emails can be toggled on and off globally. Please see the Settings section of this article for more information.

 

 

Manually Sending Receipt Emails:

 

At the top of any receipt, you can click the Email button to email a receipt to any email address. Manually sent receipt emails will use your new receipt email template.

Receipt loses formatting when printing

When you click the Print button on a receipt, and your printer is set up to print on letter size paper, the formatting will not look so great. That is because it the receipt is intended to print on receipt paper.   

If you want a printed receipt to look like you see it on your screen, with the formatting, use your computer's native print function:

• If you're on a PC, while on the receipt's page, instead of clicking the print button, click 'control-P' on your keyboard to bring up the print dialogue (print preview and options) and then print the receipt on 8.5x11" paper.
  
  
• If you're on a Mac, while on the receipt's page, instead of clicking the print button, click 'command-P' on your keyboard to bring up the print dialogue.
