I noticed on P3 that when I see the receipts, it says I can e-mail them. Is sending them this way to customers who I have e-mail addresses for okay? Or do they still need a paper copy from me that has the back side info on it?
 
I hadn't noticed that feature. I just sent myself a receipt and it didn't have the warranty info (back page) so I would say that you'd still be required to send a receipt but it would be a good way to give guests a quick receipt so they have their total.

We should ask tech support to add the second page so we can email the whole thing. How cool!

I just heard back from HO. This is what they said:Thank you for contacting The Pampered Chef. It's not an official receipt, so you would need to print them off, but it is another thing the guest can have and save in case, for example, the lose the original or move to another town.
 
Thanks, Amanda.
 
Hi there! I'm glad you noticed the option to email receipts on P3. It's definitely okay to send them to customers who have provided you with their email addresses. However, some customers may still prefer a paper copy with the back side info included. It's always a good idea to ask your customers their preference and have both options available. Happy cooking!
