Email Template Builder - Email Customizer 1.2.7

An Email Template Builder (or Email Customizer) for WordPress and WooCommerce is a tool that allows you to replace the standard, plain text-heavy system emails with professionally designed, branded HTML templates.

Most of these tools use a Drag-and-Drop interface, similar to Elementor or Gutenberg, so you don't have to touch any PHP or CSS code.

## Why Use an Email Customizer?

Branding: Add your logo, brand colors, and social media links to every order confirmation.

Engagement: Include "Recommended Products" or "Discount Coupons" in transactional emails to drive repeat sales.

Trust: Professional-looking emails reduce "buyer's remorse" and make your store look more established.

Tracking: Many builders offer test-send features so you can see exactly how your email looks on mobile vs. desktop before going live.

Drag & Drop: Move elements around, swap out colors, and add your brand assets.

Test Send: Always send a test email to your own inbox to check the "From" name and mobile responsiveness.
