How to Send a Receipt on WhatsApp from the Till
No printer? Send the receipt from the Oja till: straight to the customer's WhatsApp, as a picture, a PDF or plain text, or save it as a PDF. Works offline.
Most customers would rather have the receipt on their phone than a slip of paper they lose. After every sale at the till, you can send it to their WhatsApp in two taps, or share it any other way. The receipt is made on your phone, so this works offline too.
Before you start
- The Odogwu or Chairman plan.
- To send it straight to the customer, add them to the sale with their phone number.
Tap Share receipt
After the sale, on Sale recorded, tap Share receipt.
Send it to the customer's WhatsApp
If the sale has a customer with a phone number, the first choice is WhatsApp and their name. Tap it. WhatsApp opens a chat with them, with the receipt already typed. Tap send.
Or pick how to share it
As a picture is best for WhatsApp and Instagram. As a PDF is for printing or keeping. As text works on any phone, even by SMS. Pick one, then choose the app to send it with.
Keep a copy as a PDF
Tap Save PDF and choose where to keep it on your phone. Handy for your records or your accountant.
Good to know
- The receipt shows your store name, each item, any discount and tax, the total, how they paid and the change.
- A sale made offline shows Pending on the receipt until it is sent. The order number appears once you are back online.
- Want paper too? Set up a printer once and every receipt can print on its own.
Try it in the Oja app
