How to disable the order confirmation email?

In some usecases you may be wondering if it is possible to completely turn off the order confirmation email after the order complete.

This is a complicated situation, because we need to be precise what is our expected result:

• to disable that email in the system completely,
• to send a different email on the complete action of an order instead of the order confirmation email,

Below a few ways to disable that email are presented:

Disabling the email in the configuration

There is a pretty straightforward way to disable an e-mail using just a few lines of yaml:

# app/config/config.yml
sylius_mailer:
    emails:
        order_confirmation:
            enabled: false

That's all. With that configuration placed in your app/config/config.yml the order confirmation email will not be sent.

Disabling the listener responsible for that action

To easily turn off the sending of the order confirmation email you will need to disable the OrderCompleteListener service. This can be done via a CompilerPass.

<?php

namespace App\DependencyInjection\Compiler;

use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CompilerPassInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;

class MailPass implements CompilerPassInterface
{
    public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        $container->removeDefinition('sylius.listener.order_complete');
    }
}

The above compiler pass needs to be added to your bundle in the App/AppBundle.php file:

<?php

namespace App;

use App\DependencyInjection\Compiler\MailPass;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;

class AppBundle extends Bundle
{
    public function build(ContainerBuilder $container)
    {
        parent::build($container);

        $container->addCompilerPass(new MailPass());
    }
}

That's it, we have removed the definition of the listener that is responsible for sending the order confirmation email.
