Sending receipts via e-mail
In this version, when you complete a ticket, you have the option of sending the receipt to the customer via e-mail, instead of or in addition to printing the receipt. This feature allows you to offer your customers the convenience of electronic receipts while reducing wear on your receipt printers and your consumption of receipt paper.
Once you have configured the necessary form group settings, an E-mail button appears on the Print dialog when you complete a ticket. Click this button to send the receipt to the customer's e-mail address automatically, using the default From address, Subject, and Body text you have defined.
If no e-mail address is on file for the customer, you can add an e-mail address to the customer record "on the fly," select a customer record with a valid e-mail address, or create a new customer record, allowing you to capture the customer's e-mail address and other demographic information at the time of the sale.
To use this feature, you must define a valid SMTP host name for your e-mail system or provider using the Management Console.
