An email notification can be sent to users when their orders have shipped. The standard shipped email template allows customisation to include or exclude a range of information, e.g., whether to show customer delivery comments and instructions and display backordered items separately. The email message text can also be edited.
Administrators can enable Order Shipped notifications by completing these three processes:
- Update Order Shipped System Settings
- Update Integrator Settings
- Customise the Order Shipped Email Template
Step-by-step guides
1. Update the Order Shipped System Settings
- In the CMS, navigate to Settings → Settings (/zSettings.aspx).
- Click Orders.
- Click Order Conclusion.
- Tick Enable sending an order shipped email.
- In Order Shipped Email Template, select Order Shipped Email Template.
- To save changes, click Update.
2. Update the Integrator Settings
- Open the Integrator client.
Click the Settings icon.
Select the Advanced tab.
Enter the ERP (Pronto) status code in the field labelled Order Shipped Statuses (generally status 80).
Click OK.
Stop, then restart the Integrator. (See Integrator - Stop and Start for instructions)
3. Customise the Order Shipped Email Template
This procedure allows you to configure and edit the shipped email message.
- In the CMS, navigate to Content → Emails.
- Find the Order Shipped Email template, and click Edit.
Configure, add, or disable widgets as required. (The standard widgets that render this email message are automatically included.) You can refer to each widget's guide for all possible customisations but here is a list of some commonly customised ones:
