How do I customize the Order's Emails?

 

Order's Emails

The Shift4Shop system generates automatic emails which are sent to your shoppers when an order is placed and when the order is updated into a different status.

These email templates can be edited from your Online Store Manager's Settings >Design >Emails page. You will have two versions of the New Order emails (Text and HTML) as well as a separate template for each of the additional order statuses

Note:
The From, Reply To, and BCC fields must be valid email addresses in order to function correctly

Each template uses a series of dynamic variable tags which insert specific database information into the contents of the email. Dynamic tags will always be listed in [ and ] brackets.

Here is a quick reference of the various tags that you can use on the content of the email templates:
