Message Templates

Message templates define the layout, content, and formatting of automated messages sent from your store. They are called transactional emails because each one is associated with a specific type of transaction.

There are several message templates available in Jim2Commerce by default to notify users and the store owner about order statuses and more. To access message templates, go to Content management > Message templates.

▪You can search for message templates by keywords or by store. Keywords are used to search in the name, body or subject of a message template. The list of available stores is shown if you have more than one store and the Performance > Ignore "limit per store" rules (sitewide) setting on the Catalog settings page is not active.

Find the message template you want to edit and click Edit.

If you have more than one language installed, select the required language tab.

By default, only English is used in the system. You can manage languages in Configuration > Language.

Edit the message template details as follows:

▪Edit the Subject of the message. You can include tokens in the subject. You can see the list with all the tokens allowed at the top of the page.

▪Edit the Body of the message.

▪In the BCC field, enter the blind copy recipients of this email message, if required.

▪From the Email account drop down list, select the email account used to send this message template.

▪You can test this message template by clicking Test template. When clicked, the Send test email will be displayed as follows:

Enter your email in the Send email to field, fill the tokens with some test values, then click Send.

Email accounts are configured in Configuration > Email accounts.

▪Tick Is active to indicate this message should be sent.

▪Tick Send immediately if you want this email to be sent immediately.

–If the previous checkbox is clear, the Delay send field will be displayed.

▪Tick Attached static file to upload a file that will be attached to each email sent.

▪Choose the stores in the Limited to stores field if the message template is for specific stores only. Leave the field empty if not required.
