How do I Customize my Emails

When your client makes a payment in the Portal via Stripe, the receipt is automatically emailed to the email in their client account. If your client is not receiving email receipts for Stripe payments, then please check the following:

Your client may have marked the Stripe.com email address, from which the receipts are sent, as Spam or Junk, so they will need to check their email program to see if the emails have been moved into their Spam folder.

Note: 
When your client initially enters their credit/debit card details, they will be created as a customer in Stripe with the  email address from their client account in Pet Sitter Plus.
If you subsequently change their email address in their account, OR the client changes it in the Portal, this will NOT update their Stripe customer record, which will still try to send receipts to the original email address. You will need to change this manually on their customer record in Stripe.
