Hi I have problem where customers aren't receiving any confirmation email from hikashop, only from paypal. I want them to receive the order confirmation email. The order status's are all confirmed. How do I fix this?

Thank you

Hello,

Did you set a mail address for the "Order creation notifications email address" in "Hikashop -> System -> Configuration -> email" ? if not you'll have to.

Thanks for your reply. I've put my email address there, so I get a notification. How do my customers get notified?

Your customers will get notified every time that their orders will be "created".

Actually they've emailed me saying that they haven't received any email aside from the paypal notification. And during a test sale I didn't receive any email from the site either, any ideas?

Thank you

1. Did you set a mail address for the "Payment notifications email address" in "Hikashop -> System -> Configuration -> email" ? if not you'll have to.

2. Did you allowed "payment notifications from PayPal" in "Hikashop -> System -> Payment methods -> 'HikaShop Paypal payment plugin'" ? if not you'll also have to.

Can you please :
- put ON the "Debug" Option of your PayPal payement method
- do a simple test of purshase
- and then send me screenshots of your logs (Hikashop -> Configuration -> Files -> see the report)

It would help us to see what exactly happening.

Also, make sure that your website is able to send emails. You can try that with the "mass email" feature of joomla. If it can't, then you should check with your hosting company for the appropriate email settings in the configuration of Joomla.

Thanks for that advice, this may be a silly question- but do customers need to register then to be able to get an email from my site and not just paypal?

If you want your users to get emails from HikaShop, they need to enter their email address in the checkout. Thus, fill the registration form.
However, if you set the "Registration" option of the Checkout tab of the configuration to "no registration", your users won't have to user a username/password and no account will be created for them on your website when they checkout.

That's so helpful thank you!

Is there a way of knowing exactly what emails are being sent to them and how to choose which ones you do or don't want to be sent?

Thanks again!

Edit: So I've added login and address to my checkout workflow, I'm on the starter edition of hikashop- does this mean that customers register and an account is created for them? Do they have to log in with a password? I don't want them to have to log in with a password, I just want them to get the confirmation emails. Thank you!

Emails can be managed via the menu System->Emails in the Business edition. You will be able to activate/deactivate them there as well as modify them.

Yes, an account is created for them. When they click on the confirmation link in the email, they will be logged in automatically on the checkout and they will be able to continue the checkout process.
Then, when they want to order again, they will be able to login with their username/password and their address will already be there, so less work for them.
