Styling emails

  • Hi,

    I’ve read a number of queries regarding the styling of emails sent from WooCommerce, but am still having difficulty getting basic styling to work…

    What I’m trying to alter is the styling of the heading in the email. I know you can change the background color of the heading in the WC settings, but how can I change padding (heading sits flush against heading boundary and I want to give it some left padding) etc. etc. ? I’ve tried doing this in the email-header.php template, but there seems to be some element styling injected from I dunno where. Where does the email get the rest of it’s styling from?

    Any help, greatly appreciated.

  • I too have been looking to modify the look and feel of the woo-emails, then discovered this plugin, it costs ($14), but allows the changes to the elements you mentioned.

    Hi,

    This plugin only adds some basic styling… but I still can’t seem to get font changes etc. to work. Plus, the emails don’t format correctly in Outlook… which is even a bigger problem. ??

    “Email styling” is a more common problem of online advertisement for decades.

    You are not capable of styling every aspect of one email page content as you can style a full website with tons of media elements.

    And, as you mentioned, every mail software can perform its own display styles and even that changes between version differences. So what you see in a software like Outlook won’t be the same as it displays on another software even in another version.

    That is why most of the time, email formats contains only some basic styles, or just use some template-based online services or the old-good-image versions.

    Hi ManusH,

    Agreed. I’ve been building newsletters etc. for years and styling has always been a tricky one to get to work.
    However, with these automated WooCommerce emails, it seems to be really complicated. And the problem is that some styles work and others don’t in the same email client. Would be nice if there was just one template file for the emails that one could edit. Nothing fancy, just the colors, headings, font-family etc., just basic CSS stuff.
