📝 Overview
When a transaction is completed, receipt emails are sent automatically to the customer's email address on file. This article explains the types of receipt emails customers receive, when each is triggered, and how to resend or forward invoices manually.
📧 Automatic Emails
Dash automatically sends receipt emails to the customer's email address on file when a transaction occurs. The type of receipt a customer receives depends on the nature of the transaction.

When a customer first purchases an item or registers for a program, whether through the Admin side or through the Customer Portal, they receive a full itemized invoice with payment details sent automatically to their email address on file.
If a customer is making a payment toward an existing invoice, the receipt they receive is a brief summary showing how much was paid, along with a link to their online account billing page to view the full invoice. Because the customer already knows what they signed up for, the itemized details are not repeated in this case.

When resending an invoice, you can choose between two email formats:
Summary: Condenses all line items into a single line rather than listing each one individually.
Itemized: Displays every line item along with full payment details. This is the same format the customer received at the time of their original purchase.
