Powerlink can be used to email orders. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up and use this incredibly convenient and time-saving feature.
1. Using a Powerlink account with administrative rights, open the Business and Store Settings Window.
2. Click the Store Settings button for the store number that you wish to configure email for.
3. Click the Email Settings tab.
4. Enter the correct SMTP settings for the email account you would like to use to email orders.
Here are the settings for common email providers:
Gmail
Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Port Number: 587
Require SSL: Checked
Yahoo
Mail Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port Number: 587
Require SSL: Checked
Comcast

If you have a different email provider and are unsure of the settings, you may need to do a web search to find the settings or contact the provider directly.
5. Click Send Test Email to verify the settings are correct. If the test email fails, double check your SMPT settings, re-type your email password and try again.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the Statement Emails and Payment Request Emails tab. These can be unique email accounts.
