I have a Next.js app where I was previously using the Checkout API to create payment links. I believe on production an receipt email is sent to the buyer when the payment is complete. Now I am trying to switch it to an integrated checkout using the react-square-web-payments-sdk library. First I create a customer, then an order with createOrder() and then pass the orderId to createPayment(). These steps are all working correctly. I want to know, is an email sent in this case, or is there some way I can enable that through the settings?
If this is something I have to handle from my end, then is there an endpoint I can use to get receipt details?

When you use the Web Payments SDK in combination with the Orders API and Payments API, Square does not automatically send a receipt email to the customer. This differs from the Checkout API, which does send an automatic receipt.
If you want to send a receipt to the customer, you would need to handle this on your end. You can use the RetrievePayment endpoint to get the details of a completed payment, which includes information like the amount, currency, and status of the payment. You can then use this information to generate a receipt to send to the customer through your own email service.
There isn’t a specific endpoint to get receipt details because the receipt is typically generated based on the information from the completed payment.
