Email Settings

The Email Settings screen decides how your store sends email, and the names and addresses emails are sent from.

Mail driver

The mail driver applies to the whole store.

1. Go to Configure >> Email >> Email Settings.
2. In Mail Driver, choose the Driver: SMTP (the default) or Brevo (API). Only the fields of that driver are shown.
3. For SMTP, enter the settings described in the table.
4. For Brevo (API), enter your Brevo API Key.
5. Click Save Configuration.

Setting	What it does
Driver	How email is sent: SMTP sends it through a mail server, such as the one your email provider gives you, and Brevo (API) sends it through Brevo's web service.
Brevo API Key	Appears for Brevo (API). Create a v3 API key in your Brevo account under SMTP & API.
Host	Appears for SMTP, like the settings below it. The address of your mail server. Required.
Port	The port of your mail server, such as 587. Required.
Encryption	TLS, SSL or None. Use the one your email provider tells you to.
Username	The account the store signs in to the mail server with.
Password	The password of that account.

The SMTP settings start with the values from the server's environment file, so they may already be filled in. The Mail card on the About screen shows which driver is in use.

These settings are currently inactive

If the section shows These settings are currently inactive., your server is set to send email another way and changes here have no effect. Ask whoever manages your server to set the store's mailer to bagisto-dynamic-smtp in its environment file.

Email settings

The sender details are saved per channel, so choose the channel at the top of the screen first when your store has more than one.

1. Go to Configure >> Email >> Email Settings.
2. In Email Settings, enter the six details described in the table.
3. Click Save Configuration.

Setting	What it does
Sender Name	The name customers see as the sender of your emails. Up to 50 characters.
Sender Email Address	The address emails to customers are sent from.
Admin Name	The name used in emails sent to the admin. Up to 50 characters.
Admin Email Address	The address admin notifications for the channel are sent to.
Contact Name	The name that goes with your contact email address. Up to 50 characters.
Contact Email Address	The address shown in the footer of your emails.

All six are required, and they start with the values from the server's environment file. Which emails are sent is set under Notifications. These details are also used by the emails described in GDPR Data Requests and EU Withdrawal.

Differences in Bagisto 2.4

The Driver and Brevo API Key settings are available from Bagisto 2.4.10. Earlier 2.4 releases send email only through SMTP, with the Host, Port, Encryption, Username and Password settings.
