POS -- How can I disable e-mail as a default on the receipt screen

Topic summary

A recent POS update made email the default option on the receipt screen, significantly slowing down checkout processes—especially problematic during high-traffic periods or cash transactions.

Main concerns:

  • Staff must manually deselect email for each transaction, creating inefficiency and customer friction
  • No toggle or admin setting exists to change this default behavior
  • Related frustrations include inability to enter pricing for items without UPCs

Community sentiment:
Multiple users express frustration that developers don’t consider real-world retail workflows. Several request that updates include options to preserve previous settings rather than forcing new defaults.

Resolution:
One participant reports the issue appears to have been fixed approximately 7 months after initial complaints, though the specific solution or change isn’t detailed.

We are looking for a solution to this as well. I wish when the devs made changes, they would at least leave an option in settings to use the previous setting.
