Hi Nicolas,

On a previous post you stated that to change the text on emails sent to customers to go to system/emails and click on the template icon. In the 'help' section it shows clickable links but on my site there are no links just plain text listing 17 different forms. I am using the starter version. How do I know or change what is contained in each email? I would like to personalise the emails.

Many thanks.

Simon

Hi,

If you want to modify the text in the emails, you can use translation overrides:
www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify
That's possible with all the editions of HikaShop.

If you want to change the layout, add extra data, change the colors, etc, this can be done in the System>Emails menu. However, the edition of these is only available with the Business edition, not the Starter edition. That's why you can't click on the emails there.

Thanks Nicolas.

Thanks for pointing out how to override. I'm fine with the layout, but how do I see the content of the forms?

Does all the content for the customer emails reside within the section shown below?

Do you have anywhere that I can view the forms?

Many thanks again,

Simon

Hi,

What do you mean by "the content of the forms" ?
Are you talking about adding extra data in the emails ? What extra data ? From where ?

The translation overrides allow you to change the static text in the emails.
For example, you could change :
HI_CUSTOMER="Hi %s,"
to:
HI_CUSTOMER="Hello %s,"
to have Hello instead of Hi at the beginning of the emails.

Hi Nicolas,

Sorry, I'm not making myself clear. The only emails that I can see that have been sent to a customer are the ones I have allowed in the order section, created and confirmed. What is the text content of the other emails - cancelled, refunded, shipped and pending? I did not want to send any of these as I do not know what text they state on the form, especially the shipped form.

To make things easier, do you have picture examples of each of the forms, cancelled, refunded, shipped and pending so that I can change any relevant text in the language tab?

I hope this all makes sense.

Many thanks.

Simon

Hi,

Change the status of the email from the listing dropdown, and you'll get a confirmation popup, in that popup, if you activate the user notification setting, you'll see a preview of the email which will be sent, and you'll be able to modify it on the fly.
It's basically the same email as the one sent when an order is confirmed since it's the "order status notification" email you can see in System>Emails.
So they all use the same text, with just the status name changing in the email.
If you want to add different text for different order statuses, that's possible when you edit the email via the System>Emails menu with the Business edition. There, you'll have a "per status override" button which will allow you to customize the HTML of the email for a specific status.

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the clarity.

May I ask how the order and invoice number system works? I have received two orders - one is E4 for order and B1 for invoice. The second order is D3 for order and C2 for invoice.

Many thanks.

Simon

Hi,

The order number and invoice number are generated based on the id of the order and the invoice id of the order. The id of the order is incremented by one for each order. The invoice id is incremented by one for each confirmed order (after the payment).
The "order number format" and "invoice number format" settings in the HikaShop configuration can be used to customize the format of these numbers:
