Frequently Asked Questions

What is a transactional email?

Transactional emails are automated messages triggered by a user's action or request, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, password resets, account creation confirmations, and payment receipts. Unlike marketing emails, they contain important information specific to the user's interaction with your business.

Can I customize the design of transactional emails?

Yes, our templates allow full customization while maintaining all essential transactional information. You can add your branding, change colors and fonts, include product recommendations, and maintain a consistent look with your marketing emails, all while ensuring deliverability of critical information.

How quickly should transactional emails be sent?

Transactional emails should be sent immediately after the triggering action occurs. Order confirmations should be sent within minutes of purchase, shipping notifications should go out as soon as tracking information is available, and password reset emails should be delivered instantly to ensure security and customer satisfaction.

Do transactional emails help with marketing?

Absolutely. While their primary purpose is functional, transactional emails have exceptionally high open rates (often 60-80%) and present a valuable opportunity to include secondary marketing content such as product recommendations, promotional offers, social media links, or requests for reviews.

Can I add upsell products to transactional emails?

Yes, our templates support adding complementary product recommendations and promotional content to transactional emails. This is an effective way to increase average order value while providing essential order information to your customers.

Are these templates compatible with my ecommerce platform?
