Lightspeed eCom provides a number of automatic email notifications. These emails are sent to your customers when a specific event or action occurs in their account or with their online order, such as an order confirmation or cancellation, a shipping notification, a new account confirmation, and so on.

You have the option to disable certain notifications if you don't think you need them for your online store. Please make sure you have read gelezenEffects of Disabling Emails before proceeding. To reactivate the automatic email after deleting, copy the original templates from here and paste them back into the email.

Effects of Disabling Emails

When deciding which emails to turn off, it's important to remember that online shoppers expect to receive emails, especially order confirmations and shipping notifications. Therefore, we advise you NOT to disable these messages.

  • Customer approved if you have a B2B shop. Otherwise, the customer will not receive an email that their request has been approved. Perhaps he thinks it has been rejected.

  • Newsletter double opt-in if you want customers to sign up for the newsletter. They must confirm their registration using the confirm url that is in this e-mail. (key)

  • Notify customer if you want to send the customer a message via the Notify customer button, which can be found, among other things, on the dashboard of an order.

  • Quotation if you create quotations via the back office for your customers. They will not receive an email with the quote.

  • Order canceled + credit note if you want customers to receive a credit invoice.

  • Order confirmation so that customers know that the order has been placed successfully.

  • Order shipped so the customer knows the package is on its way.

  • Order track and trace if you use track & trace codes. Otherwise this email will never be sent.

  • Account password so that the customer receives an email if he has forgotten his login details.
