How to Send Order Notifications
Setting up automatic customer notifications with order details.
When you sell products or services using a shopping cart, order notifications–such as emails informing customers when their payment has gone through–can be sent automatically. Clients who opt to pay cash on delivery will also receive an email notification.
There are two ways a notification can be sent by email:
1) Using a custom domain email address
2) Via SendGrid

Create a new email address where you'd like to receive these notifications.
It is important to create a new mailbox for notifications because we do not want to have access to your personal email.
If you use Gmail, please read: https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
After you have created a new mailbox, select the "Allow less secure apps" checkbox to allow some apps and devices to use less secure sign-in technology.
Fill in the input fields:
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): you can find information on the email port and security type in the mail service's references. For Gmail, these are smtp.gmail.com, 465, and SSL.
Email (from) is the email address notifications will be sent from.
Subject and email template are the content of an email notification. You may use four dynamic variables:
{{order_number}}
{{amount}}
{{order_date}}
{{order_details}}
