  6.  Add the email “Template Name” (Advice format to use: “Template Original Name – Your Company Name ”)
    Example: “New Order – MyCompany”, so you know that this template is edited by you
  7. Edit the Subject and Template Content (Try not to touch anything that is inside “{{ Some Codes }}”, they are variable unless you know what you are doing)
  8. Once done, click on “Save Template” at top right
  9. The system is still using the default template, you will need to tell the system to use the template you edited
  10. Follow the path on point 5 that you had taken note just now
  11. Select and choose from the drop-down the template you edited
  12. Save and test it.
