Ability to send checkout receipts
It would be helpful if LX Starter allowed for patrons to receive checkout receipts via email. Sierra currently supports customizable checkout receipt emails using Due Slip print templates, but these are difficult to work with.

As long as we can keep the functionality of being able to also print or not give any slip - that's important to a lot of our patrons. Many do not want any sort of slip (will just look in the app) but then you have a lot that actually want the printed slip (they use it as a bookmark). I would also want the same ability to include the "you saved $$$" details that we are able to provide in the Jasper version.

We've only recently introduced Due Slip print templates and the option to email a receipt to our library, and I agree, it would be a lot easier if it were fully integrated into LX Starter. From the release notes of Sierra 6.0, it does appear that new LX Starter templates include "Statement of Checkouts" which sounds more like a list of everything checked out to an account rather than an immediate emailed Receipt for one transaction.

Receipts being emailed from LX Starter would be a great addition. I see from the Product Board, that "Additional Notice Types" does not include receipts. Adding receipts and any other emails from the ILS to the customer/patron is a must for moving to LX Starter.
