Receipts for a Tap to Pay on iPhone payment
Stripe writes and sends the receipt, to the Invoice's own email address. A card receipt has to keep being true later, which is why Pippin does not write it.
Before you start
Stripe writes the receipt, not Pippin. That is deliberate. A card receipt has to name the last four digits, the network and the authorization, and it has to keep being true if the charge is refunded three weeks later. The only thing that can promise that is the system holding the charge.
It goes to the Invoice’s own email address, chosen on the server. You cannot type a different one, and that is the point: a receipt for an Invoice cannot be sent somewhere the Invoice itself was never sent.
There is no SMS receipt.
Steps
- Take the payment as usual. See Accept a payment with Tap to Pay on iPhone.
- On approval, Stripe emails the receipt to the address on the Invoice. Nothing to press.
- The screen also shows Stripe’s hosted receipt link. Open it to see exactly what the customer will see.
Good to know
In test mode no email is ever delivered — Stripe only sends receipt mail against a live account. The hosted link is still there, and it is the only evidence the receipt exists. A rehearsal that appears to send nothing is working correctly.
A Client with no email address on their record cannot be emailed a receipt. Add one to the Client before taking the payment.
A refund issued later updates the same receipt, because it is Stripe’s document rather than a copy of one.
