How to Customize Email Templates and Notifications on Shopify

Hey, what is up guys? It's Brennan here, and today I'm going to be showing you how to customize email templates and notifications on Shopify. If you don't already have a Shopify store, you can easily set one up by visiting brentvalesky.com/Shopify. Once you're logged into your Shopify dashboard, follow these steps to customize your email templates.

Step 1: Logging into Shopify

Ensure that you are logged into your Shopify dashboard. If not, enter your credentials to access your account.

Step 2: Customizing Email Templates

In the bottom left-hand corner of your dashboard, click on "Settings." Scroll down until you see the "Notifications" section on the left-hand side. Select "Notifications" to access the email templates customization menu.

Step 3: Adding a Logo

To add your company's logo to your email templates, click on "Customize email templates." Next, select "Order Confirmation" or any other template you wish to edit. On the right-hand side, click on "Add logo" and either drag and drop your logo or select it from your computer. Adjust the logo's size as desired.

Step 4: Changing Colors and Theme

To change the color of your email templates, go back to the "Customize email templates" menu. Click on "Accent color" and either select a pre-set color or enter a custom color code. Save your changes to apply the new color scheme.

Step 5: Editing Text

While in the email templates customization menu, you have the option to edit the text of the templates. However, it is recommended to keep the default text as it is. If necessary, you can make manual edits to each template by scrolling through the menu.

Step 6: Previewing and Testing Emails

To visualize how an email will look, click on the respective template and select "Preview email and SMS." You can also send a test email to your specified email address to see how it will appear to your customers. For advanced users, there is an option to edit the HTML code of the email templates.

Step 7: Customizing Order Confirmation Emails

For order confirmation emails, navigate to the "Customize email templates" menu and select "Order Confirmation." Add your logo and choose a color theme as explained in the previous steps. Save your changes to update the template.

Step 8: Additional Email Customizations

If you require further customizations for your email templates, like more advanced email marketing features or automation, consider using external applications such as Clavio or MailChimp. These platforms offer a variety of customizable templates and advanced email marketing capabilities.

Step 9: Email Marketing and Automation

Within the Shopify platform, you can utilize the Shopify Marketing app to set up email campaigns and automations. Create campaigns to announce new arrivals, product restocks, or sale offers. These email marketing templates provide a more branded approach than the standard automated notification templates discussed earlier.

Conclusion

In conclusion, customizing email templates and notifications on Shopify is straightforward using the built-in features. By adding your logo, selecting a color scheme, and making minor text adjustments, you can personalize the email communication with your customers. Remember to test and preview your templates before implementing them to ensure a polished and professional appearance.
