## FAQs

<details>

<summary><strong>Is this the only email my shoppers receive after placing an order?</strong></summary>

2Checkout can send the electronic delivery email either standalone or combined with the payment receipt notification (in one single email).

Depending on your account's setup, for each order containing at least one product configured with 2Checkout delivery your shoppers can receive:

* **Default:** One email containing both the payment receipt and the electronic delivery messages
* Two email notifications: The payment receipt and the electronic delivery messages, separately
* Three email notifications: An order confirmation email, plus the payment receipt and the electronic delivery messages, separately

Contact 2Checkout to change your default configuration if you find another setup better suited for your customers.
