In order to use email notifications, you need to register with a mailing service. It will allow you to:
get notifications on your email from 'Contact Us' form placed on your store;
send your customers email notifications when they place orders on your store ('Thank you for your purchase' notification);
send your customers email notifications when you change the order status to SHIPPED ('Your order has been shipped' notification).
give your users a possibility to create personal accounts in your store.
You need to fill in several fields:
'Send to' – your email that you want to use for receiving messages from the 'Contact Us' of your webstore.
'Send a copy' – email that you want to use for receiving a copy of 'Purchase email notification' and 'Order shipped email notification' sent to your clients.
'Email from' – your contact email your customers see when getting notifications. It is recommended to use an email like 'no-reply@yourdomain.com'.
