Choosing the right settings #
- Mail function: leave it on
wc_mail()unless a mail or SMTP plugin advises otherwise. If emails do not send, trywp_mail(). - Email template: Smart sends a plain email when the content is appended to another email, and a WooCommerce-styled email when it is sent on its own.
- WC email template: switch to WooCommerce > Emails to have the plugin register real Activation and Confirmation emails under WooCommerce > Settings > Emails. This only matters when the template is set to WooCommerce or Smart.
- Email wrap method: use Native if your header or footer does not render correctly with the Manual method.
The Customer new account email option (alg_wc_ev_delay_wc_email) delays the standard WooCommerce “Customer new account” email until the customer verifies, so they are not welcomed before they confirm.
