By default OpenCart uses PHP mail() function to send emails from the dashboard. This is a great in built feature that helps you to send emails to your clients\/porspects about your new products, offers, promotions etc. To improve the email delivery, you should consider setting up SMTP for all the outgoing emails. SMTP would greatly improve the email delivery and minimize bounce rate of your important emails.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to Settings<\/strong> section from the main menu.<\/p>\n

\nSMTP Username:
\nSMTP Password:
\nSMTP Port:
\nSMTP Timeout:<\/p>\n
