    Default Email copy of customer order to second email address

    Is it possible to have a copy of of the customer order sent to a second email address?

    I have a customer that not only wants a primary email for orders but a secondary email address that a copy of the customer order can be sent too as well.

    That would require you customizing your site to:
    - adjust the templates to ask for a 2nd email address from *everyone*, and explain why you're doing so
    - validate whether any entered email address is legitimate
    - adjust the database schema to store the extra info
    - write the code to store the info
    - adjust the admin template/code to retrieve/show/edit/store that info
    - update the core code used to email order confirmations to have it also send again to another email address

    Or, instead of changing your store's code you could put the onus on the customer and tell them to create an alias/forwarder in their email account settings so that emails sent to their address are also sent to another address.
