Testing emails and email delivery is always important for your WooCommerce store. Why? Because it lets you see the email like your customer, find any mistakes, or catch problems with email sending. Today, I will show you how to preview and send a test email in WooCommerce with a free WordPress plugin. Let’s send WooCommerce test emails to your inbox before any email marketing campaign.

Are you tired of not receiving WooCommerce emails, and testing them manually with dummy orders?

Do you want a faster solution? Then, send a test email from WooCommerce with ShopMagic – a free WordPress plugin! Take a look at how the ShopMagic free plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce lets you send a test email in seconds:

How to preview and test emails in WooCommerce?

By default, you may edit the email template (WooCommerce → Settings → Emails) to “preview” the emails.

Standard Woocommerce Emails

But you need to manually create a dummy WooCommerce order to test emails (their delivery, content, and sequence).

And you have to do that after every change of the WooCommerce emails! That’s quite annoying, don’t you think?

When you set up your automation and you choose one of our send email actions you will notice a small Send test link:

Send [test] Email – ShopMagic

When you click this link, you will see a modal dialog with your profile email ⬇️. Just hit send and check your inbox. You will find a test email there.

When the test email is sent, ShopMagic looks for the most recent order and automatically replaces placeholders with order/customer data from this order. So every time you send a test, you will receive the data from the newest order in your WooCommerce store.

💡 This also means that you need at least 1 order in the store to send test emails. You will get an error message when you try to send a test email inside a new store with no orders.

As you can see, ShopMagic lets you customize and preview email content easily.

Also, you may send a test email of your WordPress and WooCommerce email automation in seconds!

More than sending WooCommerce test emails? 🤩 Add-ons!

The ShopMagic plugin gives comes with specific add-ons (free and paid) if you need more features.

In my opinion, the two best free add-ons are Abandoned Carts and integration with Contact Form 7.
