Customize OpenCart Order Emails & SMS Notifications with Ease
The Order Status Email / SMS Template Designer PRO extension enhances OpenCart’s default mailing system by allowing full customization of order-related emails and SMS notifications. It overrides the standard OpenCart order confirmation, order status update, and admin order alert emails using a fully customizable template system. The extension follows OpenCart’s standard event-driven email system, ensuring seamless integration while giving you complete control over your email and SMS notifications.
Problem Statement:
OpenCart’s default email system lacks flexibility and does not allow store owners to design professional-looking, branded emails. It also does not provide options for SMS notifications, attachments, or cross-selling product recommendations. This results in poor communication with customers and lost sales opportunities.
Purpose of the Extension:
This extension empowers OpenCart store owners by allowing them to design professional, automated, and dynamic email/SMS notifications. Instead of sending generic order confirmation emails, you can send branded, engaging, and informative messages that improve customer experience and increase repeat purchases.

Create Unlimited Email Templates – Design custom HTML email templates for different order statuses.
Email Editor – Easily format your emails with a built-in editor.
Pre-Designed Sample Templates – Use professionally designed sample layouts to get started quickly.
SMS Notifications – Send SMS alerts for order status updates using your preferred SMS Gateway API.
