Bug Description
Evergreen 2.6.0
Currently - it is possible to email circulation receipts from the staff client, but there is no option - if there is an email in the account and the trigger set up for the checkout library, patrons will receive emails.
We would like to add a button which when pressed would trigger the email action - this would make the setting optional, and only patrons who requested an email circulation receipt would receive one.
We believe this would require a low to medium amount of development work to add the button in the staff client and adjust the action trigger.

Equinox is taking this on as a commissioned development project funded by the Pioneer Library System. The specifications we're using can be found here:
http:// yeti.esilibrary .com/dev/ public/ techspecs/ email-receipts. html
"For the purpose of allowing patrons and staff greater flexibility in the delivery of checkout receipts, Equinox proposes to implement a method which will allow for patrons to control and “opt-in” to an email checkout receipt from both staff mediated checkouts at the circulation desk as well as the Evergreen self-check station. This development will include the following:
* Creation of a new API with a mechanism to group checkouts into sessions
* Configuration of the email receipts via A/T templates as with other email templates
* UI addition in patron account settings to support the flag to "opt in" to email check out receipts (and to ensure an email address is on file)
* UI addition to the check out screen in the staff client to include a visibility flag to indicate if the patron has opted in for email receipts
Inclusion of an "email receipt" option to the native Evergreen self-check interface that will work if the patron has an email address on file"
