Hey all,
I'd totally redoing the shopping cart system and I'm trying to figure out how to set it up so I can receive an email with sales info when my customers place an order.
It's possible this is a feature already configured and pointing at a different email, but I need to set it up so my coworkers can receive an email with order details to handle the sale. Does anyone know how this works?
v. 1.3.9b
First, you need to upgrade to 1.3.9h or 1.5.0RC2.
You can set the address that you want copies of order confirmation emails to go to in Admin - Configuration - Email Options - Send Copy of Order Confirmation Emails To
If you need those to go to multiple addresses, you'll have to set up forwarders in your hosting control panel.
Ok cool, email settings gave me the information I needed.
Why should I upgrade? My site works fine for what it does, why put it in jeopardy of completely freaking out and dying by trying to upgrade?
Because there are a lot of security-related improvements in the later versions. You can't pay too much attention to security when operating an ecommerce site. Your site works fine now, but may not work as well after you've been hacked.
