1General Concept of Email Handling

In case you want we can also handle emails for you and send them to your clients. There are several reasons why you want to use this feature:

  1. If your application has no feature for emails and also attach documents like invoices you can simply use our service and you do not have to care anymore. Email templates can easily be styled using our resource editor.

  2. We discovered that the email handling and especially adapting and localizing emails is often a real pain. We offer therefore an easy and convenient way to adapt your documents to your template.

  3. We can handle the communication for multiple events (for example for payment requests with charge flows) with your customers via an automated process. You can however decide the level of customization that your need for the communication with your customers.

Note
The document handling can be configured inside the processor configuration. In order to turn it of go to Space > Payment > Configuration > Connectors.

2Email Delivery

The Email Sender Configuration and the Email Templates are done in your space Space > Customize > Email Setup > Email Senders. You can have the email sent by our service with our addressee or alternatively send the email via your server.

2.1Default Email Sender

The default email sender sends the email via our email servers. You have the option to specify your Sender Name and your Reply To address.

2.2SMTP Sender

Alternatively you have the option to send the email via your own SMTP Server. In this case we connect to your server to send the email. For this you will have to configure the SMTP configuration in your SMTP Sender Configuration in your Space.

We do support the following server ports:

  • Port:25 STARTTLS is used

  • Port: 465 SSL is used

In case the e-mail can not be sent due to a connection error between us and your mail server you will see a log entry in your log.

The credentials are stored securely in our PCI Level 1 certified environment.
