Overview

Refer to the email list below to see each email theme and draft variables, their description, and preview values.

Requirements

Editing the 2Checkout emails requires using a variation of the Smarty version 3 syntax. Namely, instead of using { and } as delimiters, please use [% and %], as shown in the example below.

[%$FIRST_NAME_BILLING%] instead of {$FIRST_NAME_BILLING}
