Personalize online shopping emails

Learn how to customize and preview your store’s email branding and language.

Under this guide:

  1. Manage recipients of notifications
  2. Tailor your online shopping emails
  3. Preview and test the email layout of your store
  4. Send order confirmation email again

Manage recipients of notifications

Define who gets notified about recent orders placed on your Webflow Ecommerce website. If you are a business proprietor, you can safeguard the details of each order by directing new order notifications to suitable individuals within your team. You can add anyone with a valid email address – even a contact group. If the website is created for a client, this strategy helps in preventing unnecessary emails from cluttering the inbox.

The order received section is displayed with two roles receiving notifications. The additional email recipients field is empty.

Visit the notifications section in your Ecommerce settings to select or enter the individuals who should receive notifications for each new order.

Tailor your Online Shopping emails

Modify the appearance of your Online Shopping emails by adjusting the email preferences and templates in Settings (left panel) > Email.

Steps 1 and 2 are highlighted on the settings panel.
Email appearance

Here, you can upload your Brand logo, set your Brand accent color, and choose the Background color of your emails. 

To eliminate the Webflow branding from the email footer, you need an Ecommerce plus or Advanced site plan.

You can also adjust the tags and other text elements in Ecommerce email templates sent to the store owner and manager(s) as well as those received by customers. Dynamic fields like “customer name”, “store name”, “store URL”, or “store owner name” can be used to populate your email subject and other variables.
