Please remember that if you add a lot of information in this field it will shift the look of your receipt.

BCC Receipt Information

The BCC receipt information field will send a copy of every transaction receipt that is made through MX Merchant on this account to the email address specified.

Don't worry the customer never sees your email address but it is a way for you to receive full payment details on each payment.

To add more than one email address to receive a copy of the receipts simply click the space, comma, or enter button on your keyboard then start typing in the next email address.

Please note only one email address can be entered in this field.

Return Policy

The Return Policy is located at the bottom of the receipt, use this field to inform your customers of your return requirements so be as descriptive or brief as you want. (Example: Returns must be made within 30 days of receipt date, with tags and receipt)

If you don't want the return policy to appear just leave it blank.

Display Tip

MX Express (iPhone/iPad) and MX Retail (iPad) allow customers to add tip during checkout. Turning to Yes will show tips on the Classic receipts that are printed from those apps. Choosing No will not display tips even if tips are provided.

Display History

Displaying history is for the Modern receipts that come from invoices, recurring plans, and orders. History contains when it was created, sent, updated, and payments were made. If you want your customers to see this information turn the toggle to Yes, if not switch it over to No.
