  i use phone swipe.   it is great.  i get a copy of the emails they send to the customers.   phoneswipe was founded by an artist coop.

  i also put the emails on the top of the receipts.  i keep the top copy for my records.  so i have the emails for customers that pay by other means.  

  as a backup i have the square just in case something goes wrong

  Yes, I know. I was hoping that you had found a receipt book that had it already printed. I'll check into getting a rubber stamp made and use it to insert the necessary info.

  Weldon...Most standard off the shelf receipt books do not have a space for the email and phone# so it is necessary to go to a printer

  1. Greg, I like the idea of having your customers fill out the info in a receipt book. Have you run across one that has a space identified specifically for email they can fill in? If so, could you furnish the name of the company that prints/publishes the receipt book?

  I have never heard of Magicpay...perhaps a spinoff of MagicJack?

  I use Intuit and Square and am happy with both. As far as collecting emails goes, I also use a receipt book that makes a carbonless copy and I have the customer fill out their name, address, phone and email while i am processing the credit card transaction. This is a simple and effective way to get the emails and it is a very rare occasion when someone doesn't want to write down their email.

  I do not email market my work but I do send thank you emails and holiday emails that happen to include a link to my website. I haven't made a website sale since yesterday.
