Snailmail

Sending direct mail can be an effective strategy for grabbing people’s attention, especially when their email inboxes are overflowing. With Juniper, you have the ability to send invoices and follow-up reports through postal mail worldwide, all from within your database.

Configuration

Go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings ‣ Customer invoices section to activate Snailmail.

To make it a by-default feature, select Send by Post in the Default Sending Options section.

Send invoices by post

Open your invoice, click on Send & Print and select Send by Post. Make sure your customer’s address is set correctly, including the country, before sending the letter.

Important

Your document must respect the following rules to pass the validation before being sent:

• Margins must be 5 mm on all sides. As Juniper forces the outer margins by filling them with white before sending the snailmail, it can results in the user’s custom being cut off if it protrudes into the margins. To check the margins, activate the developer mode, go to General Settings ‣ Technical ‣ Reporting section: Paper Format.

• A square of 15mm by 15mm on the bottom left corner has to stay clear.

• The postage area has to stay clear (click here to get more info about the area).

• Pingen (Juniper Snailmail service provider) scans the area to process the address, so if something gets written outside the area, it is not counted as part of the address.

Pricing

Snailmail is an In-App Purchase (IAP) service that requires prepaid stamps (=credits) to work. Sending one document consumes one stamp.

To buy stamps, go to Accounting ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings ‣ Customer invoices: Snailmail, click on Buy credits, or go to Settings ‣ In-App Purchases: Juniper IAP, and click on View my Services.
