My company name, email or phone number is not showing correctly. - No problem. It is an easy fix. The information is pulled from your store settings in ShipWorks. After saving your template, go to Manage > Stores, select the store and click Edit. Then, update the information on the Store Address screen.

1. Select the template that you just created and click on the Edit button.

2. On the Code tab, scroll down to line 29 and locate the line that reads <img src="PATH TO YOUR LOGO IMAGE HERE"></img>.

You are going to replace the text PATH TO YOUR LOGO IMAGE HERE to the actual location of the image file on your PC. Be sure to include the name and extension of the file in your path. Here's an example:

You can check to be sure that the path is correct by clicking on the Preview tab. If your logo shows up, the path is correct.

Now, let's add an image of your coupon with the discount code you'd like to send to your customer.

1. Back on the Code tab, scroll down to line 52 and locate the line that reads <img src="PATH TO YOUR COUPON IMAGE HERE"></img>. Using the same steps as above, enter the path to the image of the coupon you would like to display in your template.

If you would like to, it is super easy to update the text in the template.

1. Back on the Code tab, scroll down to line 37. All of the text that appears on the template appears as black text in the code.

Just update the text with the wording you would like to appear in your email.

Note: On line 37 and 38 you will notice that the text is set to the color red. You can change the color by just typing in the color you would like. For example, change red to blue and the text will show up blue.

You could also enter a hex value if you would like to. Maybe you have a specific color you use to brand your company. Just replace "red" with your hex value like "#123456", for example.
