How Do I Change the Sender Email in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 5:30 pm

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products online, you may have noticed that the default sender email is set to “no-reply@WordPress.org”. While this is fine for most purposes, there may be times when you need to change the sender email address. For example, if you’re using a third-party shipping service that requires a different email address, or if you simply want to use a different address for customer correspondence.

In this article, we’ll show you how to change the sender email in WooCommerce. We’ll also provide some troubleshooting tips in case you run into any problems along the way.

Changing the Sender Email in WooCommerce

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WP Mail SMTP plugin. For more information, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

PRO TIP: If you are changing the sender email in WooCommerce, be aware that this may impact your ability to receive certain emails from WooCommerce. For example, you may no longer receive order confirmation emails.

Once the plugin is activated, you need to visit the WP Mail SMTP » Settings page to configure the plugin settings.

First, you need to select a mailer from the dropdown menu. The options are as follows:

PHP mail () function: This is the default mailer in WordPress which uses the PHP mail () function to send emails. We don’t recommend using this option as it’s known to have deliverability issues. Sendmail: This option uses the Sendmail program on your server to send emails. If your site is hosted on a Windows server, then this option won’t work for you. Qmail: This option uses the Qmail program on your Linux server to send emails. If your site is not hosted on a Linux server, then this option won’t work for you.

Postfix: This option uses the Postfix program on your Linux server to send emails. SMTP: This is the recommended option as it uses an external SMTP server like Gmail, Yahoo Mail, or Outlook to send emails. This option usually has the best deliverability rate.
