This article covers the setup process to print receipts via email in Bepoz (Bepoz Version 4.1.0.0).

About

• The Print via Email feature is designed to email receipts to Account customers
• You can typically email any customer as long as you add an account before printing the receipt
• This is easily done from the point of sale as an option will appear when printing a receipt

Prerequisites

• The following requirements need to be setup before we can print Account Receipts via email
• Email function must be authorised for the customer to have the ability to email report and receipts out of BackOffice
• Under Edit Venue settings in the External Links tab, the email setup requirements need to be configured with end-user email settings

• Under Email Setup there is a window called Emailed Receipts. This is where you will need to setup the requirements for the end-user

• You will notice there are two flagged options and three drop-down options
• The first flag is called Enable emailed receipts. Enable this option to email transactions receipts and also asks for customers email address
• The second flag is called don't ask to create account. If no account is associated with the sale, then do not ask to create or select one
• The first drop Box is called Email Printer. Here you will set the printer device that you have created that will be used to create printer definitions and any logo attached to the receipt
• The Second drop box is called Receipt Format. Select the format of the receipt to be sent
• The Third drop box is called Saved Message. The receipt will be an attached PDF to the email. Here you will select the comments of the email body from the saved message
• Once we have all this section configured we can now go on and setup the device in VS&T (Venue, store and tills)

Adding Email Printer Device

• When we are adding an "Email Receipt Printer" device it is typically added to the server
• The "Email Receipt Printer" should be Type "Windows Invoice" – purely for the font definitions (proportional fonts)
• The "Email Receipt Printer" does not need the port name set to WIN (these settings are all ignored)
• The only settings here used are: Sub Type, Fallback Printer, And Redirected To (but do not use), Logo Images
• Till settings should have the Standard Physical Receipt printer set as the receipt printer – you still need paper receipts
