E-mail Add/Edit

 

Description

This screen enables you to edit an email. You will be able to modify the email senders information, attachments, subject and the code generating the text and HTML content. If you only need to tweak text in the emails, you can edit the translation files via the configuration page of HikaShop and edit them there. That will allow HikaShop to send emails in the language of the customer.

Remember that emails are subject to a lot of limitations (no javascript, avoid divs, etc) because of the email clients (Outlook, windows live, gmail, thunderbird, etc).

This feature is only available in the Business version of HikaShop.
