Hi!

In my sotre I only have the option of paying when receiving the products, so when a customer place an order, check the option Pay when receiving products and confirm order, the order is placed. But I don't receive an e-mail ntifying me about that new order, so I can broke the agreement of deliver in 24 hours because I don't know when a new order is placed.

Note: I have thisoption: Send a email to the store owner when a new order is created set to YES in:
Admin, Configuration, Settins, Option.

What can I do?? I really need help in this!

Do you receive any emails from OpenCart?

How are you sending emails from OC? Mail or SMTP?

I only have it enabled on my WAMP server OpenCart installation. I don't believe I have my WAMP setup to send email.

Has anybody else noticed what wilma has experienced?

Did you put the checkmark in the admin section that you want to receive emails when orders come in?

speak to your web host. they might have disabled mails to stop people spamming.

opencart uses the default mail function built into php. if its not setup its not opencarts fault.

Or as Daniel said - it may not be enabled by your host.

You should try to use SMTP for your site emails.

Hi everyone!

1. YES I put the checkmark in the admin section that I want to receive emails when orders come in.

2. About that my web host might have disabled mails to stop people spamming, if that's the reason the emails I send from (Admin, Customers, Mail) would be delivered correctly?, because I send and received them right.

3. About SMTP and WAMP I really don´t know about. I'm really new in this.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have yet to receive an email from a WAMP install.

Do you have a 'live non-WAMP' host that you could test your install on?

WAMP is a 'portable' web server you can run from your computer. Whether it be for a personal website that you link back to your personal computer that is running it, or for testing websites and web applications before releasing them to the web.

Live Web Server - would be what this forum is. It is on a web server accessible to the world for all to use.


SMTP - Send Mail Transfer Protocol. How you send your email to your friends (in most cases).

Thanks very much Kevin Davidson for your patient.

For your explanation I think I have a Live Server provided by Hostagator.

I send emails from my admin to the clients correctly, and I also receive the confirmation mail of a new product review. The problem is receiving the confirmation mail for a new placed order. Do you know why?

Thanks in advance

Hi Wilma,

No problem.

Have you set up another payment option? Like Check(Cheque)? Does that an email when you do a test order using the check/money order? I am curious to hear if it does.

Do you recommend me to enable another one to try?

Yes, just to test it. Enable the cheque/money order payment option so you don't have to process an actual payment.

Ok I test it, and I still receive the mail as a client confirming me that I placed an order, but as administrator I don't receive any advise about the placed order, so i can miss an order if I don't go to admin and chekck everytime. ???

Hi Wilma,

What version of OC do you have installed. It looks like 1.2.8 or a version under that.

I have changed the order status in the admin panel. (Admin->Configuration->Setting->Option) I changed it from Processing to Pending to see if that will help. As far as I can tell you have everything set up correctly.

I am not sure if the change in the order status will help. If it doesn't, I would recommend upgrading to 1.3.2. You may find it may resolve you issue.

Are you sure you have set the check mark at Admin > Configuration > Setting > Option > Alert Mail to 'Yes'? (Send a email to the store owner when a new order is created.)

Cause when you have set it to no only the customer will get the confirmation mail but not the store owner.

Just double checking :-)

Hi fluidman,

The check mark is there. I have verified this.

There is not apparent reason for this, unless Wilma's host provider has some strict email spam protection. The version of OC Wilma is using is sending mail through PHP Mail and this can be blocked by a web host.

I suggest upgrading to version 1.3.2 so that email can be passed through SMTP. That should fix the problem.
