ZenCart Configuring Email Notifications

Email notifications to customers are set in Configure -> Email Options.

You typically want to send customers HTML emails by setting Use MIME HTML when sending emails to true.

To change the masthead logo of the emails, change the catalog/email/header.jpg file.

Set the Send Copy of Order Confirmation Email to the email address of the administrator.

The email templates are in the folder catalog/email. For example, the email template for the status update notification email is catalog/email/email_template_order_status.html. This is where you might want to alter the alt attribute of the header image tag.

If you want to change the wording of these status notification emails, you will have to alter code in admin/orders.php in two places.

1) The first place applies to the text version of the email and you can do something like ...

EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATED . sprintf(EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_LABEL, $orders_status_array[$status] );
if ( $orders_status_array[$status] == "Processing" ) {
  $message = $message . "\n\n" .
  "Your custom message for processing status here "
} else if ( $orders_status_array[$status] == "Delivered" ) {
  $message = $message . "\n\n" .
  "Your custom message for delivered status here"
}

2) The second place applies to the HTML version of the email. For example ...

$html_msg['EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_PLEASE_REPLY'] = str_replace('\n','<br>', $message);
