Send Notification email only on orders $500.00 or more

How would I set up Zen Cart to only send notification email to me on orders $500.00 or more?
Thanks,:smile:

Setup things so they cannot Checkout unless their purchase is $500.00 or more. :wink:

Other than that, custom coding would be required as Zen Cart (and most Store Owners) treat every Sale / Purchase as requiring some sort of attention.

The learning is in the doing.

Re: Send Notification email only on orders $500.00 or more

Sounds like I may need to clarify my question after reading your purposed solution. I still need all orders to email notification but on any order that exceeds $500.00 I need an additional email to be sent to a third party just to keep them informed. Anything under 500.00 will continue to only notify but anything over will need to notify me and a third party.

Of course I could forward any notifications that comes to me that is over $500.00 but that is something I am trying to avoid.

My thought was that YES! There does need to be custom coding to make this happen. Is there someone who could perhaps point me in the direction of a solution?

Thanks,

There is the Commercial Section of the Forum where you post Jobs and deal with people who are familiar with Zen Cart and the coding required.

Re: Send Notification email only on orders $500.00 or more

Thank you Website Rob, I am aware of that.:blink: But for the purpose of this thread, my goal was to utilize the forum as it was intended. The majority of threads eventually provide a solution by sharing experiences or possible ideas and in some cases are aware of similar questions that have been posted in the past. Anyone out there have any ideas?
Thanks,

Re: Send Notification email only on orders $500.00 or more

You seem to want to do it yourself ... so ...
Take the notifier point for 'NOTIFY_CHECKOUT_PROCESS_AFTER_SEND_ORDER_EMAIL' and write an observer class to run off and send the extra emails you require.
And/or change the code in your override copy of the checkout_process.php module file which tells the order class to send out the normal emails.
