Extra options

Shall there be a need to customise email, WooCommerce naturally gives such opportunity to the user. There are many ways to do this. The easiest one is to apply the dedicated plug-ins. Users can also adapt email templates by themselves.

Email sender options

This section enables you to set, how email will appear in inbox.

“From” name. Here you decide what name of sender will appear in mailbox. It makes sense to think through the name, since it’s the name that initially lets recipient identify a given email. Make sure that name is explicit and that it lets customers promptly identify the sender. Do not make it too long either.

“From” address. Here you decide, what email address will appear in mailbox. Here too, it is suggested to make it clear-cut, by adding an easy to remember email address.

Email template

This section lets you customise sent emails. The following options are at your disposal:

Header image. By using this option you can add an image, which will be displayed in email just above its heading. Image should be added in the form of a link directing to a given file from media library.

Footer Text. This is just text, which will appear in email footer.

Base colour. Background colour, Body background colour, Body text colour. Hereyou can change default colours by using HEX code. Remember to make sure your email is readible, the aesthetics only come afterwards.
