-- url of the page with the problem -- : afca.ca/book-store

Hello,

Notification emails for orders placed through my client's store are not being sent to administrators or customers. The From Address, Payment notifications email address, and Order creation admin notifications email address are defined in the email configuration panel.

The mail settings in the Joomla global configuration are working correctly as test messages using the defined SMTP setting are being received.

Any ideas on why this is happening?

Cheers,

Hi,

Do you see the emails in the menu Customers>Email history of HikaShop ?
- If so, it means that the emails were generated by HikaShop and sent to the SMTP server.
In that case, you would have to check the log of the SMTP server where the error should be logged if an email cannot be sent by it. And that will allow you to know what to do. It's probably one of the settings of the Emails section of the HikaShop configuration that needs to be changed.
Note that on most hostings, you don't have access to the log of the SMTP server and so you need to contact your hosting provider's support so that they can check it for you with the information of the email from the email history area.
- If you don't see the emails in Customers>Email history, then HikaShop didn't generate the emails. It can be because the emails are disabled in System>Emails, or because the order's status wasn't confirmed automatically by the payment gateway. So check the emails and check the status of the orders. If it stays to "created" after the payment, then you have a payment notification issue:

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

After some further digging, I found that the email addresses that were being used for the notifications were not updated by the client and the previous agency when they switched over to a new domain. The domain changed from @afca.ab.ca to @afca.ca, so it may have been an easy miss.

Please mark this thread as resolved.
