The Wallet feature enables customers to add amounts to their wallets, make payments using their wallets, and get a refund in their wallets.

SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an application layer (TCP/IP) protocol that handles the process of mail exchange i.e. sending & receiving emails.

In order to set up this function, the admin must have their own email addresses in the Mail SMTP Settings’ “Email From” and “Reply-To” sections.

By default, all emails sent to customers in the wallet management app will be delivered from the Webkul email address.

However, the app allows you to use SMTP settings to send emails from your email account if that’s your preference.

You will be able to send all emails from your end by modifying the SMTP settings from the app’s “SMTP Configuration” menu.

Admin can manage the SMTP details from the SMTP Configuration section of the app.

Please follow the steps:

Visit the Wallet Management app >>Configurations >>SMTP Configuration>>Here, you can manage the SMTP details:

Once you will click on the SMTP section, then a page will appear, where you need to configure the SMTP details.

In this way, you can manage SMTP emails to be sent to the customers. Now, the admin will configure the “email from”, “reply-to”, and “from name” sections as per his/her choice.

In order to send the emails from your end, you need to synchronize your Gmail account with the Wallet Management app.

For this, you need to add your email account details in the form of the SMTP server.

1. Login into Gmail with your account
2. Navigate to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

3. In ‘Select app’ choose ‘custom’, give it an arbitrary name, and press Generate.
4. It will give you 16 characters token.

NOTE:- You need to have an account on any SMTP service provider like Mailchimp etc. Or Gmail SMTP will work if you want to send the emails from your end.

In case you want to use Gmail SMTP then you can use the following:

SMTP host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP username: Your Gmail Address
and, SMTP password: Your Gmail Password (16 characters token generated from the Gmail account)
SMTP port number: SSL (465)

(TLS): 587

NOTE:- If you have activated the two-way authentication then, please enter the app’s password while configuring SMTP.

Difference between TLS & SSL?

There is just a minor difference between TLS and SSL. Both come with different standards but are used to authenticate the transfer of data between servers, systems, applications, and users.

TLS is the upgraded version of SSL as it uses stronger encryption algorithms as compared to SSL and also has the ability to work on various ports.
