PDF Receipts

Under Canadian law, Encompass must generate a unique and sequentially numbered gift receipt (PDF).

User Experience:

1. The receipt ID number will display on the confirmation/review page.

2. The same receipt ID number will display in the member confirmation email.

3. The e-mail will contain a link in it that will open a printable version of the transaction receipt.

4. The receipt ID number can be given to an Encompass administrator so they can look up my transaction (if needed).

Admin Experience:

1. Reports will include the receipt ID.
