Before we start
It’s important that you understand mail servers before you make customisations.
“Email deliverability” is real and important. Mail servers around the world check the characteristics of emails, and if they find spammy characteristics, they will send the emails to the spam folder.
Guidelines to have good deliverability
Are some of your customers complaining about emails not being delivered? If they are, then read the below:
- Use appropriate wording in your email content, subject line, and email name
- Do not overload your download email with images and “marketing” stuff. This will red-flag mail servers
- Keep it professional. Don’t use full caps lock words or anything that doesn’t look professional
If you use spammy buzzwords and emojis, mail servers are going to think the email is spam.
Testing your email deliverability
You can actually test your email by using Mail Tester. Simply send a test email from the email template customisation page to the email that the site provides.
De quel plan ai-je besoin pour cette fonctionnalité ?
It’s possible to edit email templates if you have the Growth plan or higher (already installed? Upgrade here).
This allows you (the store) to customise messaging for your “fulfilment”, “pre-order release”, and the “update file” emails.

How to add videos to the email template
To put it short, most email servers don’t allow embedded videos in an email. They will block the embedded code as the email arrives in the inbox, and the video will not show in the email. If you’re interested, you can learn more about embedding videos in emails.
What you need to do is, add a link to your text directing to a video like this – this is an example of a hyperlink.
Comment modifier le titre et l'objet de l'e-mail ?
You can edit your ‘Subject line‘ and ‘From name‘ on the email templates page.
Please note: to change the subject line or name, you will need to use a customised email. The subject line or name will not save if you have not written a customised email.
- Go to “Settings”
- Then “Edit email templates”
The default:
- From name: (Your store name)
- Subject: (Your store name) – assets to download from your recent order
