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

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 backoffice: Settings -> General. More information can be found here.
