Automatic or by batch

Send each receipt by itself, or in batches. - 6

Tips
- The price per letter is shown on the page.
- A letter that comes back raises an alert and marks "Mail came back" on the person.
- Without a service, receipts wait under Giving → Receipts to mail for you to print.
If something isn't working
Set up, but "no API key".
Nothing is printed until a key is set. Ask whoever runs your Yahiv, or paste your own key.
Test mode says there's no test key.
Letters are only written down as test pieces. Add a test key, or turn test mode off when you're ready.
