The most important bit, though, is that it comes with everything you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/qodeinteractive.com\/magazine\/how-to-start-an-online-store\/\">start a web store<\/a> out of the box. However, a lot of functionalities you might need are not immediately included, but rather available through free or premium modules and addons. Among these is <strong>an easy way to test WooCommerce email templates.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In this article, we will be showing you several WooCommerce test email techniques.

Once we are through with the why, we will be showing you how to work around <strong>WooCommerce\u2018s core features<\/strong> to test the email templates, as well as how to use a free plugin for WooCommerce test email techniques and templates within WooCommerce\u2018s own interface.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Here\u2018s what we\u2018d like to talk about:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;22px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#why-test-woocommerce-email-templates\">Why Test WooCommerce Email Templates<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#editing-email-template\">How to Test WooCommerce Email Templates by Editing the Email Template<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#creating-dummy-orders\">How to Test WooCommerce Email Templates by Creating Dummy Orders<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221;]<ul class=\"qodef-unordered-list-item qodef-toc\">\n    <li>\n\t        <div class=\"qodef-ul-title-holder\">\n            <span class=\"qodef-ul-title-content\"><a href=\"#using-plugin\">How to Test WooCommerce Email Templates Using a Plugin<\/a><\/span>        <\/div>\n            <\/li>\n<\/ul>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=&#8221;new-ecommerce-banner&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"why-test-woocommerce-email-templates\"><\/a>Why Test WooCommerce Email Templates<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The answer to this should be obvious: if you have a system in place, you want to make sure it does what you set it up to do. But in the specific case of emails, you need to consider that they are <strong>the principal means of communication between your shoppers and your business<\/strong>. This makes emails a more important aspect of user experience for stores than for many other types of websites.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]Apart from the functionalities you might expect, such as user name and password matters, <strong>online stores use emails for a wide variety of notifications<\/strong>, such as order confirmation emails, shipment tracking, promotions, and other important and less important information. This gives the shoppers access to various useful information, but the emails do more than just that: they improve their awareness of your brand, on the one hand, and make shoppers feel safer about entrusting you with their sensitive personal data, on the other.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]There is the flip side to consider, though: would you trust an online store or service whose emails aren\u2019t professionally designed, are riddled with errors, or contain bugs? Would you <strong>feel safe giving them your name, street address, and credit card information<\/strong>? Do you think your shoppers would?[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;28px&#8221;][vc_column_text]This is exactly why you might want to make an extra effort to check whether your email templates look and work correctly.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;68px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"qodef-h4\"><a id=\"editing-email-template\"><\/a>How to Test WooCommerce Email Templates by Editing the Email Template<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Email notifications come included in the WooCommerce package.

To do that, we will have to use a plugin.

We went with the <em>Cancelled order<\/em> email, but you can, of course, choose whichever email you like. Next down, in the <strong>Choose Order<\/strong> menu, you can select an order for which to test the template. You could also search for an order by entering the order\u2018s ID in the <strong>Search Order<\/strong> field below. Finally, in the <strong>Mail to<\/strong> field, enter the email address to which you wish the template mailed.
