This article will show you how to Setup the SMTP feature in the CMS.

1. Go to eCommerce > Ecomms Settings > Email Settings:
   
   
   
   
2. All the way down on the Email settings box, there is a section called email sending methods, select SMTP:
   
   
   
   
3. Here you will see a box with some fields shown here:
   
   
   
   

   SMTP server	Whichever email provider you are using, check their own details on which is their SMTP server.
   SMTP username	This is the email of the account you want to use.
   SMTP password	This is the password of the account, sometimes providers will want you to use a passkey instead of a password, such as Gmail and Office 365. Check online to see how you can set this up (further links below). The passkey would be the password you would enter if this was the case.
   SMTP port number	Most common SMTP server use 587.
   SMTP email sender	This is a second Email on the email header, so instead of the emails coming from the username which would be the email, you can make it have a whole new email address in the "From" field.
