Message Type Configuration

Use this page to configure the message types for your store. You cannot add new message types to the system or delete existing ones; instead there is a predefined set of message types using the e-mail transport that can be configured.

Message Type
Lists the types of messages available. For example, you may have messages for receiving an order, canceling an order, or general broadcast messages.

Transport
Specifies the method in which messages will be transported or communicated message recipients. If the transport method you want is not listed, ensure that the transport has been enabled.
