The 'General settings/Email Notifications options' page allows you to define, which of the available email notifications should be sent to the customers, administrator(s), provider(s), users department and orders department of your store.
Contents
Site administrator notifications
Select all the notifications that you wish to be sent to the store administrator:
- Notify the site administrator by email if unallowed request to site occurs: If selected, the store administrator receives an email notification if the system detects a potentially harmful GET or POST request to the store site (which may be a sign of a hacker attack).

- Notify the site administrator if the blowfish key is wrong: If selected, the store administrator receives an email notification if the value of the $blowfish_key variable in config.php is changed. Important: You should remember that the Blowfish key must never be changed by editing config.php. The notification enabled by the option 'Notify the site administrator if the blowfish key is wrong' was implemented in X-Cart to help you track down the change if it happens by accident. It is recommended that you keep this notification enabled. If you receive a notification saying the blowfish key is wrong, you should open config.php for editing and replace the wrong blowfish key value with the correct one.

FAQ
When an order fails (is declined by payment gateway), the inventory stays not decreased, but the administrator receives the low limit notification email entitled "Product #1 quantity decreased!" Don't understand, why?
Let's say, you have 3 items in stock and the low limit is 2.
- Let's say, a customer adds 1 item to cart, then goes to checkout.
- When the customer clicks on Submit button at the last checkout page, a new order is created with status "Not finished", and the product's quantity in stock is decreased by 1. The product quantity in stock is decreased in order to prevent the situation when 2 customers simultaneously purchase the last item of the same product in the store.
- The low limit notification email is sent to the store administrator.
- If the order fails (for example, due to the customer's credit card being declined by the payment gateway), the order status is changed to "Failed", and the quantity is increased back to its original value.
For more information about order statuses please refer to: Statuses of orders paid for by online payment methods.
