Merge tags are used in an email template to auto-populate required customer and order information from our database according to the order. Each email contains a list of available merge tags that can be embedded in the required place within the email subject, title, and body to import unique information. Content for each email varies, so we recommend auditing all the merge tags available with each template and if they are inserted correctly.
