woocommerce email options

Select options or enter preferences:

Enable/Disable
Enable this email notification.

Recipient(s)
Enter recipients (comma separated) for this email. Defaults to info@woocommerce.com.

Subject
This controls the email subject line. Leave blank to use the default subject:

Email Heading
This controls the main heading contained within the email notification. Leave blank to use the default heading.

Email type
Choose which format of email to send. Options include:

  • Plain Text
  • HTML
  • Multipart

If using Plain Text emails, keep in mind that text fields are limited to 155 characters. If your products have long names and/or numerous variations/add-ons, the field may be truncated.

HTML template (please raise a ticket with CRU if you would like to customise your email template)
To override and edit this email template, copy woocommerce/templates/emails/admin-new-order.php to your theme folder: yourchildtheme/woocommerce/emails/admin-new-order.php. You can also copy the template file or view it on this setting screen.

Save any changes.

Completed order and Customer invoice / order details 

The Completed order and Customer invoice/ Order details templates have slightly different settings from others.

  • Customer invoice/Order details cannot (and should not) be disabled.
  • Both templates have ‘Thanks’ fields that can be altered.


Please note: CRU will have to override the template on your behalf. If CRU clients manage to access and update these templates on their own, this will likely lead to breaking the email structure - certainly when we make updates to Woocommerce. Please raise a ticket for any customisations outside of the standard settings above.
