Enter the Payment Types that will trigger EmailNotify to send a notification message. This is typically the Payment Module Name, e.g. 'paypal_standard', 'bankpayment' or such. Enter multiple Payment Methods separated by a comma.

Selects the Sender Name of the notification message. Choose to your preference.

Use the 'Default Template from Locale', or choose on of the Templates available in the Template Pool of your Store.

Enter the Email Addresses where to send the notification to. Enter multiple Email Addresses separated by a comma.

EmailNotify uses a template for creating the notification message. The default template is located in:

app/locale/en_US/template/email/emailnotify_paymenttype.phtml

To customize any of the default EmailNotify templates, import the default into the Transactional Emails of Magento:

System » Transactional Emails » Add New Template

Load the default template of EmailNotify from the 'English' Locale, it is called 'Payment Type Notification':



Modify the template and save it into the pool of Transactional Emails. After that you may want to reselect the Email Notification Template in the Configuration of EmailNotify (see above).
