Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by Misty_Blue on February 27 2010

I am currently testing the checkout process thru my magento store and paypal sandbox with dummy orders.

After a guest or logged in customer makes a purchase from the store, it seems magento does not send an email (order confirmation) to the purchaser… only when i log into the admin and “invoice” or “ship” the order does magento sent an email advising the customer of the same… i know once the store is live, paypal will confirm the purchase with an email from their side…

Also i know there is a function on the order page to “notify” the customer of the order status eg: Paypal Pending but again seems to be a manual “switch” to send an email…

Is the any option in the admin to have the store send an “auto-email” the the customer after checkout is complete…
