Send email after purchase

Hi,
we sell articles and subscriptions on OJS 2.4.1 with a PayPal Fee Payment method.
Now we need to get an email to a specific address after each purchase. Is it possible someway?

Thank you,
Enzo

Hi @Enzo,

Under Journal Management > Subscription Policies, please fill out the email for the Subscription Manager and see the options available under ‘Online Payment Notifications’.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi @mfelczak,
thank you. And is there a similar option for purchases of sigle articles?

Hello,
Enzo

Hi @Enzo,

OJS only includes email notifications for subscriptions. The other payment options, e.g. article purchase, donations, etc. do not include notifications, although I can see how these might be useful for editors. We’ll consider this as a requirement for OJS3 payment support.

In the meantime and as a workaround, you should be able to enable email notifications in your PayPal account to track all payments.

Cheers,
Michael

Ok. We already use PayPal notifications to be updated about purchases on OJS, but would be better to set different addressees PayPal account (that we use also for other needs) than from OJS.
Anyway thank you.

Bye,
Enzo
