You can send eReceipts (email and/or text message receipts) to patrons who prefer either of these options. They can be sent to patrons for check-outs, renewals, and paid fines. Receipts are sent within a few minutes of the transaction.
eReceipts will only be sent for items when both the checkout branch and patron branch have the eReceipt option turned on in Polaris.
Only one item is sent in each TXT eReceipt.
