Email settings
By default, the handoff notification email described in Setting up human handoff is sent through Cartfilo’s own mail delivery. Settings → Email lets you switch that to your own SMTP provider instead.
Fields
- SMTP host and Port
- Username and Password — once saved, the password field shows as unchanged; leave it blank on a later edit to keep the existing one rather than clearing it.
- From address and From name — what shows up as the sender on notification emails.
- An Enabled checkbox — your credentials are only used once this is checked; until then, Cartfilo’s default sending continues even if you’ve filled in the fields.
Testing
After saving, a test email option queues a message through your configured credentials so you can confirm delivery before relying on it. The page shows whether the last test succeeded or failed.
Why you’d set this up
Using your own SMTP means handoff notifications arrive from your own domain rather than a shared Cartfilo sender — useful if your team’s mail filtering trusts your domain more, or if you want these emails to show up consistently alongside your other store correspondence.
