Zen Cart Explored

Email messages are an important component of an online store for communication with your customers.  Zen Cart can be configured to notify customers of their order status, for example, or notify the store owner of a new order or that a particular product is running low on stock.

Zen Cart provides the option to select plain text or HTML email messages.  The HTML email messages utilise the set of 15 email templates.  The default email messages are explored further in Zen Cart Email Templates.
