Hi @Creativewell, thanks for posting on the Seller Community 👋.

I'm sorry to hear your customers are not receiving their digital receipts as expected.

Can you confirm the phone number format you enter? I've helped a seller with a similar issue in the past who was not entering the country code correctly - they would enter 44 instead of 0044 (the double 0 replace the + in +44) - which was preventing texts from being sent.

For receipts sent by email, have you asked your customers to check their spam folders ?

Otherwise, I suggest going through some basic app troubleshooting steps first:

Check that both your mobile device and the Square app are up to date.
Log out and back into the app.
Turn your mobile device off and on.
Force quit and re-open the app on your device.
Delete and reinstall the app. See Apple’s support site and Google’s support site for instructions on how to do so.
Make sure that the date and time on your device are correct.
