Configuring Email Sending
Reaction sends emails for a variety of reasons (user signup, password reset, order receipts, etc.), so you will need to configure an email provider to send emails. You can use any SMTP server to send e-mails.
This guide will cover how to set up your transactional emails your own custom SMTP settings.
Configuring your email provider
You can configure your own custom SMTP settings by setting the MAIL_URL environment variable to an SMTP URL (in <PROJECT_ROOT>/reaction/.env on a local development setup). Any SMTP server is supported, including self-hosted.
MAIL_URL="smtp://username:password@example-mail-host.com:465"
Reaction is now ready to send emails!
Checking email logs
All e-mails sent by Reaction Commerce are logged. The e-mail send logs are available in reaction-admin (on localhost:4080 if you're running it locally), in Settings > Email.
Confirming email status
Once your shop is sending emails, a log will appear for each transactional email.
Resending a failed email
If an email fails to send, you will see a button that will allow you to attempt to resend the failed email. Emails are scheduled with a job queue, so failed emails will automatically attempt to resend up to 5 times, with 3 minutes between each retry.
