Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the sender of a statement email displayed as Shopfront when an email is received?

The sender will be displayed as Shopfront when a reply email hasn't been specified in the configuration section of the statement. Once a reply to address has been entered, it will default to your selected outlet's name, or the first outlet name if you are in global mode.

 

Can I assign a statement template to a customer group?

You can assign a statement to a customer group when Allow Account Sales is enabled for a customer group.
