Mail settings

The Mail settings tab is the place where we can change the settings for sending email messages.

Note

Additional options are available for the PRO version, such as:

using your own SMTP server from which emails will be sent to customers,
uploading a logo that will appear at the top of the email.

Available options

Here is a list of the available options with a short explanation.

Notifications of new orders: Determines the email address to which notifications of new orders placed on the website will be sent. By default, this is the email address that was used to create the Foto.Guru account.
Turn on notifications for new orders: Determines whether notifications of new orders will be sent.
Email used in customer notifications: Determines the email address that will be available (as the Reply option) to customers who receive a notification about the status of their order.

SMTP settings

Your own SMTP configuration allows notifications to be sent to customers from your email address instead of the default Foto.Guru address. All options in this section are available for the PRO version.

Use SMTP configuration: Determines whether we use our own SMTP server settings or the default mail server.
Send a test email: Allows you to check whether the SMTP settings provided are correct. The test email is sent to the email address that was used to create the Foto.Guru account.
Server: Determines the host of the SMTP server that will be used to send emails.

Tip

If you use the Google SMTP server, check whether your account has two-factor authentication enabled. If so, we will not be able to send emails from your account.

In this case, it is necessary to create a special password for our application on your Google account. Another alternative is to use a different email account.
Port: Determines the port of the SMTP server that will be used to send emails.
User: Determines the user name of the SMTP server that will be used to send emails.
Password: Determines the user password of the SMTP server that will be used to send emails.
E-mail address: Determines the email address from which messages will be sent. The address must be hosted by the SMTP server defined above.

Layout

Logo: Determines the file that will be visible as the logo in emails sent to customers.

Tip

The ideal dimensions for the logo are: 80px high (proportional width).

Any other logo dimensions will be scaled to this size. Pay attention to the “empty space” that often occurs in logo graphics (most often at the top and bottom). If we remove it, the logo will be larger and therefore clearer.
