Any advice?")* Hello, Can you check that your order have switch to a **confirmed status** ? If not, maybe the issue **isn't starting with Email processing** but with **Payment method** or **Order status** configuration or the way you process your test (like a payment method isn't able to switch status on localhost or else...) The logical chain is like this : **1°** Payment servers send **notifications** **=> 2°** Payment method **switch** the order status (if configuration fit this and order had succeed) **=> 3°** HikaShop **switch** the Order statuts => **Email is sent**.

Any advice?")* Hello, Thank you for the reply I'll explain a bit more on the process at the moment. Order gets created and updates to 'Confirmed' when paid for (all works fine, emails are sent etc..) Plugin is hooked on onAfterOrderUpdate and gets the orderId and cURL posts it to another script (script pulls full order, formats a new object to how I need it with the order details and posts it off site) **Does not make any changes or updates to the order** Another script is setup to basically update the orders status: It loads the full order and makes a change to the status if required. Everything works perfectly fine, script changes order status to 'Shipped' - adds tracking ID to the history etc all updates and reflects on the system. The only thing it is not doing is sending the email to say 'You're order is now shipped' etc. // Edit Just to add to this, the hikashop_history table is updating correctly, showing new_status = shipped and notified = 1 Thanks Last edit: 8 years 5 months ago by [turfymurphy](/forum/user/57013-turfymurphy "View turfymurphy's Profile").

Any advice?")* Hi, Ok, so do you get the email that should be sent in the "Customer>Emails history" section of the shop ? Also, in the trigger onAfterOrderUpdate, the second parameter $send_email can be set to false to prevent the sending of the notification. So make sure that you're not doing that. In fact, you could even force that variable to true in order to see if you correctly get the email or not.

The actions I am taking on updating the order etc do not happen **within** a plugin, it is external.
