Configuring order confirmation emails

You can customize the confirmations for iPart-based commerce by modifying its HTML template: OrderConfirmationEmailTemplate.htm. To modify this template, locate the template file in your iMIS directory:

...\NET\iparts\Commerce\OrderConfirmationDisplay\

Note: This confirmation template is not related to the Public View settings controlled by System Setup > Set Up Web Components > Email templates

You can use these properties in your template:

Example customization

Here are some typical customizations you might want to make to your confirmation email:

1.  Logo: After the <body> tag, insert the <img> tag that sizes and positions your logo appropriately.

2.  Message: After the final </table> tag, add a message:

 <p>Thanks for your Order and being a great customer! Please contact customer support for any problems at (888) 555.4354.</p>
