FAQ's - Customize Email Content

  1. What emails are automatically sent to my customers?
    • The following emails are automatically sent to your customers:
      • Order Received: an email is sent when a customer initiates an order on your storefront
      • Order Confirmed: an email is sent when either you and/or a Network Supplier confirms an order (confirming an order indicates to the customer that the order is in progress and will be shipped). Please note that one email will be sent for each supplier that makes up the order, meaning customers could receive multiple emails per order. In this instance the term supplier refers to any product fulfillment source, be it yourself or a Network supplier.
      • Order Shipped: an email is sent when either you and/or a Network Supplier marks an order as shipped. Please note that one email will be sent for each supplier. A supplier in this instance refers any product fulfillment source, meaning customers could receive multiple emails per order.
      • Order Canceled: an email is sent when you mark an order as canceled. Please note that if a Network supplier cancels an order, an email will be sent to you and not to your customer. It is your responsibility to communicate canceled orders to your customers.
