Dave: in the manage orders section, i am attempting to change the product selected in a previous transaction. It appears the change is saved in the cart, but the order email the system sends After the product is changed does not reflect the change. Am i doing something wrong?

Hi Armando,

Are you referring to the Manage Orders screen?

Thanks,

Yes, in the Manage Orders screen, I am selecting the detail for a particular order, and then on the screen where I can see all the fields entered by the customer and the specific itemized order, I am using the product dropdown list to select a different product.

My developer looked into this over night, and he is telling me that the reason this doesn't update automatically is that the field in the database not only contains the product name, but also has the variant information and recurring billing info. If it is set to automatically update the data in the record with the new Product info, the variant info (student name, costume purchase) and recurring billing info would be erased.

However, in that same order detail screen, I see an option for Print Invoice. When I click on that, the correct data (reflecting the change in product ordered) does appear. So, if my developer's theory is correct, is there any way to capture that invoice view and make it part of our "order update" e-mail message?

Thanks very much.

Hi Armando,

Your developer is on the right track, the reason this doesn't update automatically is that the field in the database not only contains the product name, but also has the variant information and recurring billing info. In addition, I have been able to replicate the same issue that you have described without the product having a variant or recurring billing and sent this into programming. I will post back with an update or any info that I receive. Thank you for your feedback.

Hi Kevin. The patch seems to have worked. Thank you! Question: I know we can define e-mail templates. When this kicks off the email confirmation of a product change, it sends the same message the customer got on their original purchase - same text, etc., except that now the product is changed.

Is there a way we can tell the system to change to a different email message when we click "send email" after a product change on our end? Instead of the original message ("Thanks for your purchase...."), I'd like for this message to say, "We have changed your order.....").

Thanks.

Hi Armando,

Are you referring to the "Send Ship To" or "Send Order Email" from the Manage Order Details page?

Thanks,

I'm referring to "Send Order Email"

Hi Armando,

As long as you don't need to use the Ship Email you could use the "Ship To" email template to design an email with the look and feel you desire and use the "Send Order Email" button in the Manage Order Details screen to send out your emails with the new product information after they are updated.

Thanks,
