### Sending Stripe Receipts

If you are accepting payments through the Stripe payment gateway, you can toggle on the option "Include Stripe receipt email in the checkout" under Configure → Payments to have Stripe automatically send a receipt for the purchase.

### Sending Receipts from Paperform

Paperform supports sending a standard payment and submission summary as text in the body of an Email Response, as a PDF submission summary attached to an Email Response, or as a Custom PDF. Here's more information on these:

**1. Choose "Receipt" as the content of the email**

**2. Choose the "Custom Message" option**, you can optionally append the receipt to the end of your custom email.

**3. Attach a Custom PDF,** that you'll need to have already created via After Submission → Custom PDFs.

### Gotchas

 - Passing information from your form to the Stripe receipt is currently not supported.
 - Sending Stripe receipts is only available for the Stripe Credit Card checkout, if you are using a different payment source (e.g. iDEAL pay), then the email address may not be captured.
