How Do I Add Email Alerts to WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:01 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you probably already know the importance of keeping your customers informed about their orders. One of the best ways to do this is to add email alerts to WooCommerce.

There are two different types of email alerts that you can add to WooCommerce: order notifications and customer notifications. Order notifications are sent to customers when their order status changes. For example, if an order is placed, an order notification will be sent to the customer.

If an order is shipped, another order notification will be sent to the customer. Customer notifications, on the other hand, are sent to customers when they take certain actions on your site. For example, if a customer signs up for your newsletter, they’ll receive a customer notification.

Adding email alerts to WooCommerce is simple. First, you’ll need to install and activate the WooCommerce Email Alerts plugin. For more information on how to do this, please see our article on how to install a WordPress plugin.

PRO TIP: If you are considering adding email alerts to WooCommerce, be aware that this may result in a significant increase in the amount of email traffic on your server. Additionally, be sure to configure your email server to handle the increased traffic appropriately, or you may experience email delivery issues.

Once the plugin is activated, you’ll need to configure it. To do this, click on the “Email Alerts” link in the left-hand sidebar of your WordPress dashboard. This will take you to the Email Alerts settings page.

On the Email Alerts settings page, you’ll see two tabs: “Order Notifications” and “Customer Notifications.” Click on the tab that corresponds to the type of email alert that you want to configure.

For both types of email alerts, you’ll need to specify a recipient (the person who will receive the email alert) and a sender (the person who will be shown as sending the email). You can also specify a subject line and a message for each type of email alert.

Once you’ve configured all of the settings for your email alerts, click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page. Your email alerts will now be active!

Conclusion: Adding email alerts to WooCommerce is a great way to keep your customers informed about their orders. The process is simple and only takes a few minutes to set up.
