Email the receipt
After the transaction is complete, if you selected a Paladin customer that had an email address on file, the invoice is automatically sent to that email address.
If you did not select a customer or if the Paladin customer does not have an email on file, an Email Receipt option appears. If you want to specify an email for the receipt, tap Email Receipt, enter an email address, and then tap Send. Otherwise, tap Done.

Process item returns
To process a returned item, follow these same steps, and when you add the item to the invoice, entering a negative quantity.
