PrestaShop version 1.3 UserGuide – OCTOBER 2010
Your shop sends many messages throughout all the steps of registration or placing an order. Here you
configure how these messages will be sent. By default it is advisable to use the first option of sending
information to "Use the PHP mail () function.” In the event that this does not work then use the
second option. In this case additional fields appear. See screenshot below.
Once you have configured emails using one of the two methods, enter your email address in the field
labeled “Test your email configuration” then click “Send a email test at.” Now check the inbox of the
address provided to verify that you received the test mail. If you have not received it, please modify
your configuration. The configuration information can be provided to you either by:
• Your system administrator.
• Your host.
• Your ISP.
• Your e-mail provider.
Your web host can tell you whether or not your username is mandatory, as well as the password
information, and the encryption to use.
For example, in the case of Gmail (the email service offered by Google), enter the following
information:
SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
User: user.name @ gmail.com
Password: RT22UE87 (Example)
Encryption: SSL
Port: 465
