Common mistakes and troubleshooting for receipt signing

This FAQ-style troubleshooting section addresses common problems when adding email signature restaurant receipt capability, such as missing fields, delivery failures, and signer authentication issues.

Missing signature fields on the receipt template
Confirm template placement and preview the receipt before sending. Ensure page scaling settings do not shift field positions when converting POS receipts to PDF and re-upload if layout issues persist.
Recipient not receiving email requests
Verify recipient email address and check spam folders. Confirm email delivery settings and domain allowlists; if bulk sends are blocked, check sending limits and throttle the batch.
Signer reports inability to sign on mobile
Ensure the mobile app or browser supports the required signing type. Advise updating the app or using a supported browser and verify network access for proper loading.
Audit trail does not show expected events
Check system logging settings and retention configuration. Ensure the platform's audit logging feature is enabled and that time zone settings are consistent across accounts.
Authentication code not received by SMS
Confirm the phone number format and carrier restrictions. If SMS fails, switch to email authentication or an authenticator app while investigating carrier issues.
Signed receipt not visible in accounting system
Check integration mappings and connector health. Re-run the export or manual push for the specific receipt and review integration logs for errors to resolve mapping mismatches.
