  2. In the grid below, there may be various lines of settings already there for different receipts and sales.
  3. The Report Type column indicates different sale types (e.g. layby payment, invoice sale).
    The     Printer column indicates how the receipt is printed/shown/sent. It will have a printer name, or Preview, or Email/SMS.
    The     Template column indicates the type of receipt used (e.g. docket receipt, A4).

    Add settings for any sale types that you want to automatically email receipts for, using the 'Email Customers via Retailer' setting in the Printer column. This will only affect customer sales with a customer name/account.
    If you wish to email receipts for all sales, use the 'Email Everyone via Retailer' setting instead.
    If there is no email recorded for a customer, it will prompt for an email at the end of the sale with these settings.
  5. You can save or cancel your changes by clicking the 'green tick'  and 'red X'  buttons under the grid.
