SMS Receipts for bank card transactions

SMS receipt messages sent after POS card payments

Requires Bartender 3.11.16

We added a cleaner way for guests to receive receipts directly to their phone via SMS after a successful card payment.

Send receipts by SMS at checkout

After a bank card payment is completed, guests can choose to receive their receipt via SMS directly on the POS customer screen.

Phone number recognition for repeat card payments

If the same bank card was used before and a phone number was already provided, the system automatically recognizes it and suggests sending the receipt to that number.

The phone number could have been captured during wristband registration or during a previous payment.

First-time phone number setup for future receipts

If no phone number is found, guests can quickly enter their phone number manually.

We securely save it to the bank card’s unique payment method ID in Stripe, so future purchases with the same card can use the saved number.
