About this plugin
I made this plugin to make it easier to customize WooCommerce emails. Most of the other options are too much: drag-and-drop builders and endless settings that are overkill for simple customization, and some of them only work properly once you buy the Pro version.
I originally built it for myself and my clients, to make my life easier. Then I decided to share it with the community. If you believe that sometimes less is more and you want a lightweight, straightforward option, this plugin is for you.
What you get
- One fixed header and footer for every email. Add your logo, a tagline, footer text and social links once and they appear on all WooCommerce emails, including emails from other plugins that use the standard WooCommerce email hooks.
- Simple design controls. Colours, fonts, font sizes, heading style, layout, buttons and ready-made Classic, Dark and Minimal presets.
- Edit each email. Change the subject, the heading, and the text of every email, in one of three ways:
- keep the WooCommerce default body and add your own intro or extra text,
- replace only the message between the heading and the order details, and keep the order table,
- or replace the whole body with your own content.
- Dynamic data with shortcodes. Use shortcodes such as [order_number], [customer_name], [order_total], [billing_address], [order_details] and [order_view_url] in any field. There is also [order_meta key="..."] for custom order fields and [button url="..." text="..."] for styled buttons.
- Import and export. Save your settings and email content to a file and move them to another site in a few clicks.
- Works with custom emails. Emails added by other plugins, for example custom order status plugins, show up in the list and can be edited the same way.
- Preview and test. Preview any email with a real order from your store and send yourself a test email.
- Lightweight. One settings page under WooCommerce, no page builder, no external services, no tracking, no upsells.
Shortcodes
Shortcodes work in the subject, heading, intro, email text, additional content, custom body, header text and footer. A few examples:
- [order_number], [order_date], [order_status], [order_total], [payment_method], [shipping_method]
- [customer_name], [customer_email], [billing_first_name], [billing_address], [shipping_address]
- [order_details], [customer_details], [addresses] (WooCommerce’s own order table and address blocks)
- [site_title], [store_address], [current_year], [my_account_url]
- [order_view_url], [order_pay_url], [reset_password_url]
The full list is on the Shortcodes tab of the settings page. Developers can add their own with the ezmails_shortcodes filter.
Notes
- Plain-text emails only use the custom subject and additional content. The header, footer and design apply to HTML emails.
- Untick “Enable customizer” at any time to go back to the standard WooCommerce emails instantly.
