Setting up email marketing with CS-Cart or Multi-Vendor
There are several solutions we offer to our clients regarding email marketing.
Notification (outbound) emails
These are emails which are only sent from the website and can’t be answered by your customers. You will not receive the reply to these emails. Usually, you can see “no-reply” in the name of those emails. Notifications may relate to transactions, marketing campaigns, shipping information, etc.
Please note that we set up AWS SES only for production (live) websites.
We provide the Notification solution for AWS Cloud hosting clients which is Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Amazon SES requires special configuration to work correctly and can be set up on request for all our clients. This service is included in all AWS plans and is free of charge.
