Customize your lifecycle emails
Make every subscription email sound like you — edit subjects, headings, and content, with placeholders and full template overrides.
- Edit subject/heading/content
- Placeholders
- Theme overrides
Subscription emails are member touchpoints, so they should be on-brand. ArraySubs registers its emails in WooCommerce → Settings → Emails (prefixed [ArraySubs]), where each email’s subject, heading, additional content, and type (HTML/plain) are editable — with a Placeholder Helper and theme template overrides for full control. This recipe customizes lifecycle emails.
- Every subscription email matches your brand voice.
- Insert member/subscription data via placeholders.
- Toggle individual emails on or off.
- Override full templates in your theme when needed.
