Sending orders to fax machine

I have a client that still does not grasp the concept of a 'paperless society', and would like to have ZC send any and all orders to thier fax machine in case they have a computer breakdown and cannot access the internet.
Is this even possible ?

Thanks.

Most Sincerely,

Gonzo

Re: Sending orders to fax machine

You can do this sort of thing with an email to fax gateway. The provider will create an email address for you; simply add this address to the list of emails that get an email when an order is made (see Configuration->E-Mail Options in Admin).

Since this is a business, I would encourage you to use a business class service; free services like this are notoriously flaky.

Good luck,

Hi there
Not sure where you are since it's not in your profile. I use utbox.net as an email/fax gateway that works very well in Australia

Re: Sending orders to fax machine

Thanks all!
I am in Western, NY.
I know that Yahoo Stores fax completed orders, so I figured there had to be something out there.
I will let you know how I make out.

Thanks again all.

Most Sincerely,

Gonzo

For testing and research purposes, what free services are available in US?
