Are you stumped on how to set up WooCommerce email notifications? In our WooCommerce tutorial, we will give you the breakdown on how email notifications work in WordPress and the settings used in WooCommerce.
WooCommerce and most email plugins send an email via wp_mail(), which is a core WordPress feature. Often, issues of email-sending and receiving arise, but usually, the problem is not with WooCommerce itself, but rather the web host's key email feature. Read on to solve everyday problems.
If you don't receive messages from contact forms on your WordPress page, your site may have a problem of misconfiguration. In the shared hosting environment, this is a very prevalent problem that restricts the protocols used to send messages through the hosting server to minimize the incidences.

If the status of your fresh order is “awaiting,” it means that, so far, there isn't any sent mail. Awaiting orders are those in which the client has chosen the item, but then either left the payment webpage or the credit card transaction didn't go through. It depends on the payment gateway in use.
For awaiting orders taking payment through PayPal or any other payment gateway, there will be no update. This may be due to a gateway issue. There isn't an email problem in this scenario. Now the problem could be with payment gateway.

For PayPal Standards, we have a troubleshooting page.

Plugins may also return mistakes before modifications to the status happen. You can find the leading causes behind the issue through debugging the plugins, or you can disable plugins except WooCommerce to rule a dispute. Visit:

Processed Orders should generate an Email.
You might have disabled the email notifications. Cross-check whether your email is enabled for the email order notifications.
You should start by using a free Check Email plugin test on your WordPress page. This is a fundamental plugin intended to check if you can send messages to your WordPress setup and/or server. Install the wp-login plugin using source https://en-gb.WordPress.org/plugins/wp-mail-logging/. Now it will let you check what is being sent by keeping a log of all going emails. Once installed,
admin dashboard > WP Mail Log
If the test was successful, then the screen will look like this
1.2 Now, after finding out the email has been sent but not received: some more process needs to be carried out for resolution.
In case the email has not been forwarded, this may show a plugin conflict that blocks the sending, for instance, erring before it is produced. Now you can figure out the cause through a plugin forum or any other mean else you can disable the plugin and rule out a dispute.

What is the SMTP supplier devoted to? Is a Gmail account similar to SMTP?
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a transfer protocol that provides services in sending/receiving emails that are similar to WebHost. User has to create an account. The main difference is their server is used to send messages, whereas WebHost is for hosting websites. One of the most famous SMTP is Gmail, which provides services in sending and receiving emails quickly, efficiently, and secretly.
Gmail has certain limitations in sending messages. Gmail only allows 500 emails to a unique ID in 24 hours. Otherwise, the user’s ID will be disabled.

How does email work?
Emails works like anything is moving from one point to another. Emails travel very quickly between the servers, and they are being filtered out at every step. Google describes this process at https://sustainability.google/
Email plugins use core WordPress feature wp_mail() to send the emails, and WooCommerce also uses the same feature.

No, neither WordPress nor WooCommerce sends mail. As told above, they use the primary function to send emails. WordPress is not an email service provider. Another language allows sending emails by coding PHP.
The wp_mail() feature re-routes the email from PHP to your SMTP supplier by using a plugin that is accessible to the SMTP supplier and the Post SMTP plug-in. The SMTP supplier will receive the application and add an email to the queue.
Email gets filtered out at different steps, and the last one is spam. If an Email is in spam, it’s neither sent nor received.
Yes! You can send your purchased downloadable files by adding given below snippet to the end of your theme’s functions.php file:
Sender
If you have a specialized server for sending messages, check and monitor the reputation of your website IP address for this action. You can also use this for hosting environments shared and virtual, but it is better to get a dedicated SMTP provider
