Custom Email Template Manager for PrestaShop

A powerful and lightweight PrestaShop module that allows you to replace default transactional emails with modern, responsive, and image-rich templates.

It automatically injects product images into order emails and lets you assign specific designs to different email types (e.g., a festive design for customers and a clean data-heavy design for admins).

🚀 Key Features

• Product Images in Emails: Automatically adds product thumbnails to the {items} variable in emails (works with new_order, order_conf, etc.).
• Template Switcher: Create multiple templates (Modern, Black Friday, Christmas, etc.) and switch between them instantly.
• Targeted Assignment: Assign specific templates to specific email types:
  • Customer Confirmation (order_conf) -> Use a colorful/festive template.
  • Admin Alert (new_order) -> Use a clean, informative template.
  • General (all) -> Fallback for all other emails.
• Live Preview: Visualize your HTML template with dummy data before saving.
• Test Email: Send a test email to yourself directly from the back office.
• No Core Overrides: Uses PrestaShop hooks (actionEmailSendBefore), ensuring compatibility with updates.
