There are five different types of the e-mail messages which are used in Sana Commerce: 'Change password', 'Forgot password', 'Order confirmation', 'Contact Us' and 'Tell a friend'. The layout of each e-mail message is defined in the e-mail template.

Management of the e-mail templates content is performed in the Sana Commerce backoffice: Content -> E-mail templates:

 

It is possible to edit the existing e-mail templates by clicking on the  button:

 

 

E-mails in Sana Commerce are multi-language. The e-mail template can be found by entering a specific group code:

 

Mail Type	Group Code
Forgot password	Mail_ForgotPassword
Order mail	Mail_OrderConfirmation
Change password	Mail_ChangePasswordTemplate
Contact us	Mail_ContactUsTemplate
Tell a friend	Mail_TellaFriend

 

In the e-mail templates 'replace texts' are used. They can be recognized by the brackets in the text. These texts are replaced by the external values. These values are used in the entire webshop so when you change them it will be shown everywhere.

It is possible to create links to the website in the e-mail template. In order to do this just place the link to the page without specifying the domain name. Place [WEBSITEDOMAIN] variable instead of it, thus the backoffice will take the website domain of your production environment and will add it to the link automatically. For example, if you want to create the direct link to the home page of your website add the following line to the e-mail template text: [WEBSITEDOMAIN]/default.aspx 

 

The shop information which is used for all system e-mails (shop name, shop phone number, e-mail addresses) can be changed in the Sana Commerce backoffice: Settings -> General. More information can be found here.
