Deliver Receipts
Once a receipt has been compiled, the merchant can provide either an electronic or a paper receipt to the payer. The delivery method may be restricted, depending on the hardware that the merchant is set up with.
Terminals
Merchants using the VeriFone V400m can leverage the receipt printer included with the terminal itself. For these cases, simply inject any custom or required information needed into the customer receipt text blob returned by the SDK on the Payment Info class. These merchants can also provide electronic receipts.
Merchants using the VeriFone P400 must either exclusively offer electronic receipts or procure their own external receipt printer, compatible with the terminal being used.
Mobile Card Readers
Merchants using the Ingenico Moby 5500 must either exclusively offer electronic receipts, or procure their own bluetooth receipt printer to offer paper receipts as well.
