Email Notifications

Admin walkthrough — channel setup

Email

Covered in Settings → Communications → Email Settings: From Name, From Address, department addresses, and — on stores that can use their own server — SMTP details. See Getting started.

Getting into the inbox, not spam

When CartWhizz sends for you, delivery is handled for you. If you use your own SMTP server:

  • Use an address on your own domain (not Gmail or Yahoo).
  • Ask your email provider for the SPF and DKIM records and add them at your domain registrar.
  • Send a test to Gmail and check it lands in the inbox.

SMS, WhatsApp and push

Text messages and WhatsApp are set up separately in Settings → Communications → Messaging. Push and in-admin alerts come from the Real-Time Order Notifications and Mobile App modules. Notification Preferences shows these channels next to email for each event.
