Testing & Troubleshooting Notifications

Written by Steve Jones

Ensure your customers receive the right message at the right time.

How to Test Notifications

  • In Settings → Notifications, click the “Send Test Notification” option for any template.

  • Enter your email address or phone number to preview the message.

  • Review how it appears and check for typos or formatting issues.

Troubleshooting Checklist

  • Is the notification enabled?

  • Does the customer’s order have a valid email or phone number?

  • Was the correct status/action taken to trigger the notification?

  • Check the order timeline for a record of sent notifications.

  • For email: Check your spam/junk folder if not received.

  • For SMS: Verify the phone number is correct and SMS is supported on your plan.

Common Issues

  • Notification not sent: Double-check if the template is enabled and the order details are complete.

  • Wrong content or formatting: Edit and save your template, then re-test.

  • Customer not receiving SMS: Make sure their phone number is entered in international format and your plan includes SMS.
