Hi,

In HikaSerial, the plugin "mail to custom field" allow to use an order (or item) custom field and send the "attach serial" image to another email.
The buyer will still receive the image in his confirmation email and the images will be also added in the next emails (if an admin send an email to the customer in the HikaShop backend).

The serials will be also display in the front-end customer order but the images won't be available.
To make them visible in the front-end order ; the best is to use the "attach as download" feature.
[ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ns-attachserial.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/152-hikaserial-plugins-attachserial.html)

By using "attach as download", you can use the special "file path" provided by the plugin to create a virtual product file.
The virtual product file will be visible as a classical file that the customer can download after his purchase but instead of pointing to an existing file in your server ; the image will be dynamically generated.

Regards,
