Can I turn off clients receiving email receipts?
Why email receipts are mandatory and can’t be disabled
No, email receipts cannot be turned off.
This is because businesses are legally required to provide proof of transaction for certain purchases.
Under Australian Consumer Law, a receipt must be provided for goods or services valued at $75 (excluding GST) or more, and must also be available if a client requests one.
As a result, the system is designed to automatically send receipts to ensure compliance with these legal obligations. This requirement applies to both businesses and the software platforms that support them, meaning the feature cannot be removed or disabled.
Why this matters
- Ensures your business stays compliant with Australian law
- Protects both you and your clients with clear transaction records
- Helps avoid disputes or misunderstandings around services and payments
How receipts are handled in the system
- A client completes a payment
- The system automatically generates a receipt
- The receipt is sent to the client via email
- A copy is stored for your business records
💡Tips

- Use receipts as a touchpoint - they’re a great opportunity to reinforce your brand or include helpful info
