It would be great to be able to email receipts to customers when you receive their payment, at the moment you can only print and I find this waists time and paper. (The email remittance feature works great so why not have an email receipts option too.)
I've received a few enquires about the "Receipt Emailer" solution that I created to tackle this issue, so thought I would post some additional info.
It's designed to be hosted on the backend of a website running an SQL database. For example, my wife's business operates using a combination of MYOB, Wordpress, Excel and Gmail. So we decided to install it as a Wordpress plugin for additional security. But since every business operates differently the solution could be customised to work in other business environments.
Here's a screen grab.
As mentioned, receipt data is exported from MYOB and imported into the application. You can then select the records that need to be sent and it automatically creates the pdfs and sends them to each client/customer as a personalised email. Pdf's can be fully customised. You can also have multiple pdf templates.
If you are interested please PM me (click on my name, then on the green Send Message button).
Can MYOB provide some ETA on this - it's been ongoing since August 2013 and nothing has happened. Clearly there are enough of us who want this feature to justify implementing it?
I totally agree that we need to be able to email receipts directly from MYOB without some convoluted process that involves copying the receipt and then emailing them out individually. I use MYOB to save me time so this goes against the grain for me and I don't do it. However, I know many of my customers would be happier with a receipt.
I have been printing and emailing several thousands of receipts to our customers. It was a waste of time. It would be much appreciated if MYOB development team can implement a system to email receipts straight from MYOB, similar to remittance and statements.
