Hi,
Yes, that’s true.
Let me help you out in understanding how the test email works.
You can create an email templates by using ‘Add New Template’ button which is present in ‘Email Templates’ tab. As per your requirement, you can create an Email Body by adding short codes using the ‘AC’ field which is present in the top left corner of email body option menu. I am attaching a screen shot for your reference here: https://screencast.com/t/ZIMc5lZLo .
After creating the email template, the field ‘Send a test email to:’ will send a test mail in the same format in which you have created in email body. The short codes will be displayed as is, there will be no details filled in those short codes. I am attaching screen shot for your reference here to get an idea about how your test mail will look: https://screencast.com/t/sgsIDBWtsj .
The email which will be sent to the customer when a cart is abandoned, as per your email template will look something like this: https://screencast.com/t/bo3vhm7A .
In our next update, we will be including some default demo products in the test email, which will populate the information where the short codes are added. This will help you to get better idea about how your email templates will look when they are sent to your customers.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.

Dhara Kothari.
