Email Manager

Today’s customers are increasingly interested in receiving invoices and other correspondence through email. Paladin supports this by including email options for quotes, invoices, purchase orders, statements, and more. Email Manager offers a consistent email experience throughout Paladin. When you use the email feature to manually email invoices, quotes, purchase orders, sales history, and other information, the Email Manager window opens and offers the following options:

• Select an email address from the customer’s or supplier email address list in Paladin.
• Enter a new email address and send a receipt to that customer.
• Send multiple emails before closing the window.

Note: To email invoices and other information to your customers, the email feature must be set up in Paladin. A Paladin Support representative can do this for you. Contact us at support@paladinpos.com or 1-800-725-2346, option 2.
