Description

Allows you to view in browser tests of the WooCommerce emails.

This plugin adds an “Email Test” option within your WooCommerce menu. From there, you can specify a test order, and view test emails for the following email types:

  • New Order
  • Processing Order
  • Completed Order
  • Customer Invoice
  • Customer Note

Note – this plugin only works with WooCommerce.

Sending Emails

We also have a premium plugin which offers the following additional features:

Real email in-box testing

The premium version lets you send any of the test emails to an email address of you choice, at the click of a button. This allows you to test the email in a real inbox, instead of simply in the browser.

Additional testing for the following WooCommerce email types:

  • Cancelled Order
  • Failed Order
  • Customer On Hold Order
  • Customer Refunded Order
  • Customer Reset Password
  • Customer New Account

Support for the WooCommerce Subscription plugin

If you have the WooCommerce subscription plugin, you can test the emails associated with this plugin. These are:

  • New Renewal Order
  • Completed Renewal Order
  • Completed Switch Order
  • Customer Renewal Invoice

Lifetime updates

Any updates to the premium plugin will be available to you at no extra cost.

Useful if not fully-featured

There's a few complaints about it not sending an email unless you pay for an upgrade, but to be honest opening it up in another tab is more useful as you don't need to worry about your SMTP being set up on dev / testing versions. Will definitely keep it in mind for the future.
