<p><strong>Smart Email Recipients</strong> for WooCommerce gives you complete control over how your store emails are routed — ensuring the right people receive the right notifications based on what customers purchase.</p>
<p>By default, WooCommerce sends emails to fixed recipients. This plugin replaces that limitation with a flexible rule-based system that dynamically assigns recipients depending on products or categories in each order.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Route Emails Based on Products</h3>
<p>Create rules that trigger when specific products are included in an order.<br />
This allows you to notify the exact team members responsible for handling those products — whether it’s sales, fulfillment, or support.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Use Product Categories for Smarter Automation</h3>
<p>Instead of selecting products one by one, you can assign recipients based on entire categories.</p>
<p>This is especially useful for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Stores with large or frequently updated catalogs</li>
<li>Teams organized by product type</li>
<li>Automating workflows without constant rule updates</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Full Control Over To, CC, and BCC</h3>
<p>For every rule, you can define recipients across:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>To</strong> – primary recipients</li>
<li><strong>CC</strong> – additional visible recipients</li>
<li><strong>BCC</strong> – hidden recipients</li>
</ul>
<p>This gives you complete flexibility to structure internal and external communications exactly how you need.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Flexible Recipient Selection</h3>
<p>Choose how recipients are assigned:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select individual users directly</li>
<li>Include users based on their roles (e.g., Shop Managers, Editors)</li>
<li>Add custom email addresses manually</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also combine all these options within the same rule.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Create Multiple Rules with Ease</h3>
<p>Build unlimited rules to match different scenarios in your store.</p>
<p>Each rule can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Target specific products or categories</li>
<li>Define its own recipients</li>
<li>Apply to selected WooCommerce emails</li>
</ul>
<p>This allows you to create highly customized email flows for every type of order.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Apply Rules to Specific WooCommerce Emails</h3>
<p>Choose exactly which emails each rule should affect, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>New Order</li>
<li>Processing Order</li>
<li>Completed Order</li>
<li>Customer notifications</li>
</ul>
<p>This ensures recipients only receive relevant emails — no unnecessary noise.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Works for Bulk and Product-Level Control</h3>
<ul>
<li>Configure global rules that apply across your store</li>
<li>Add product-level recipient settings for more granular control</li>
</ul>
<p>This combination gives you both flexibility and precision.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Real-World Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Send order emails to different vendors based on purchased products</li>
<li>Notify warehouse teams based on product categories</li>
<li>Alert specific staff members when high-priority items are ordered</li>
<li>Automatically include managers or supervisors in CC/BCC</li>
<li>Route customer-related emails to dedicated support teams</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>Why Use Smart Email Recipients?</h3>

<h3>Restrict refunds by products & categories</h3>
<p>Many stores offer refunds on specific products and categories only since some items are non-refundable. To address this issue, the advance returns and refunds extension for WooCommerce allows merchants to offer refunds on specific products & categories or entire stores.</p>
</div>

<h3>Restrict refunds by user roles</h3>
<p>Merchants can choose to offer refunds to specific user roles only. This ensures that refund requirements and eligibility criteria are met when offering refunds. This streamlines the refund management process, leading to improved customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by order date</h3>
<p>Almost all stores that offer refunds have a refund policy that returns can be made within x amount of days after delivery. To ensure that store owners can implement a time-bound refund policy, this smart refund extension enables merchants to add days, after which the refund button will hide automatically.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by order status and order amount</h3>
<p>Sometimes, order amounts can be so insignificant that the shipment, taxation, and other charges accumulate to a greater amount than the original order amount. Usually, merchants often reject refunds on such orders. With this extension, merchants can easily restrict orders lower than a specific amount for refunds.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by payment methods</h3>
<p>Managing refunds made from cash and delivery orders can be pretty challenging for some store owners; they are not only required to collect the return package but also responsible for returning the amount to the requester. This extension allows store owners to restrict refunds by payment methods easily.</p>

<h3>Restrict refunds by user country</h3>
<p>If merchants face difficulties in shipping to a country, then they also tend to avoid accepting refunds from those countries. This extension allows merchants to restrict refunds by customer’s country easily.</p>

<h2>Enhance User Experience with Intuitive Refund Chat</h2>
<p>Our innovative extension offers a seamless way for you and your customers to communicate through built-in chat features. This feature is beneficial for both sellers and customers.

<p> </p>
<h2>Allow Customers to Attach Files with Refund Requests</h2>
