Customize WordPress and WooCommerce emails with MailerPress Pro

MailerPress Pro is required to customize native WordPress and WooCommerce emails.

Customize WordPress Emails

Replace WordPress’s plain-text system emails with designed templates built in the MailerPress editor.

Sign in to your WordPress administration, then go to MailerPress, Settings, WordPress emails page.

Modes

Each email has three modes:
