Automated Confirmation Email?


Guest

Recommended Posts

Simple question, not sure there's a simple answer.

I want customers to receive an order confirmation immediately after they place an order on my site, whether they have paid already or not. I know that when I change the order status from "pending" to "processing", the customer is sent an email, but that only happens when I do it manually, and only when I'm at my computer. Is there any way for a confirmation email to be sent AUTOMATICALLY after the order is placed?

I'm using Paypal IPN so when I verify their payment I can change the status to "processing" and send a confirmation that way, but I want them to receive a confirmation email that just says that we received their order in the first place, right after they place the order. Is this possible?

Thanks!
