Pending, Processing and Shipped question.

[jimbo17]

When I receive an order and then change it from pending to processing to shipped does the customer automatically receive an email each time I change the status of the order?
I have never been able to resolve the problem of sending email from AbanteCart.

I have asked for help from my hosting service but they also have never been unable to fix this problem of why I cannot sent emails to customers with AbanteCart
I have kind of learned to live with this problem for a number of months but now I would love to fix this problem.

I can receive emails from customers but I cannot send or reply to customers emails.

Thanks Jim

Does your customer get order confirmation email?

Have you checked error logs?

Look at this post http://forum.abantecart.com/index.php?topic=4268.0 for notifying customer when status changes

My customers tell me they are still not receiving updates I send them on their orders such as pending, processing and shipping.
I followed the instructions in the link that you sent to me so now I am wondering what else might be the problem.

I am using AbanteCart to respond to any messages I get so I am thinking that some how I have the wrong settings in my email account or something is blocking my email.

I also use gmail for the business.

Check AbanteCart and server error logs. Maybe your server cant send emails or connect to your gmail SMTP

1. Does your customer receive order confirmation email?
2. Have you followed these steps while setting your SMTP https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/7372837/Mail+Settings
3. Check in Error log there might be some errors.   https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/7929963/Log+Errors
4. Maybe everything is right but all your emails are going in Spam / Junk / Promotion folder
