So far, you've looked at styling your Magento store for customers, but what about the transaction e-mails Magento sends your customers when they place an order? This chapter covers the following topics:
Changing the e-mail template logo
Altering colors of the e-mail templates
Altering variables in Magento e-mail templates
Adding static block content to your Magento e-mail templates
Integrating a MailChimp subscription form into your Magento store
Integrating a Campaign Monitor subscription form into your Magento store
Working with Magento e-mail templates
Working with e-mail templates is quite different than working with websites, so you may find the following information of use in this chapter:
Various e-mail clients will display the e-mails in various ways, much like different browsers can display the same website differently.
It is always recommended to retain as much as possible from Magento's default e-mail templates in order to make sure the mails are displayed correctly on as many clients as possible. This will also make the Magento upgrade progress much easier for you!
Bear in mind that most (if not all) e-mail programs don't display images by default. Be careful that your e-mails' core messages are contained within text in your e-mail and not in images!
