SMS Receipt
Categories and articles
Send the receipt to the guest via SMS instead of printing it – a digital receipt the guest opens right on their phone.
Step by step:
- Complete the payment in the POS
- On the receipt step, choose SMS as the delivery method
- Enter the guest's phone number (e.g. "070-123 45 67" or "+46701234567")
- Click Send
- The guest receives an SMS with a receipt link. Check the result if the message cannot be sent.
What the SMS contains: The SMS is short and contains a link to the digital receipt, e.g.:
Tack för ditt besök på [Restaurant name]! Här är ditt kvitto: https://app.vendion.com/receipt/…
The link opens a mobile-friendly receipt page with:
- Restaurant name
- Date and receipt number
- All items, VAT and total
- Control code and verification code (fiscal law)
- Any discounts and tip
Does an SMS receipt create a customer? No. An SMS receipt sends only the receipt link – it does not create or link a customer profile, and the phone number is not saved as a customer. To link the visit to a guest in CRM, do that as a separate step – see Guest Linking – View Guest Info in POS.
Cost: A small per-message price per your price list.
Receipt copy afterwards: If the guest needs the receipt again later, you can send a receipt copy by SMS from order history – see Send a receipt copy by SMS afterwards.
GDPR: The guest provides their number to receive this specific receipt. For marketing SMS separate consent is required – see the Marketing module.
This feature is part of Vendion POS.
