About these templates
Transactional Email Templates
Transactional emails are the ones people actually wait for: the code to log in, the link to reset a password, the confirmation that an order went through and the receipt for a payment. They are triggered by something the user just did, they are opened almost every time, and when they look broken or suspicious people lose trust in your product.
These templates cover the core flows, Verify Email Address, Password Reset, Order Confirmation and Payment Receipt, with a shared, consistent look. Each one keeps marketing out, puts the important detail (the button, the code, the order number, the amount) first, prints a fallback link for clients that block buttons, and includes request details or summaries that help people trust the email. Send them from Postmark, SendGrid, Amazon SES, Resend, Stripe, Shopify, Auth0, Supabase or your own code.
Verify Email Address: A sign-up confirmation email with an envelope badge, a "Confirm your email" headline, an Outlook-safe verify button, an optional one-time code in a large monospace box, an expiry note and a fallback link.
Password Reset Email: A clear, secure password reset email: lock badge, headline, the account it is for, an Outlook-safe reset button, link expiry, a copyable fallback link, optional request details (device, location, time) and a reassuring "didn’t request this?" note.
Order Confirmation Email: An ecommerce order confirmation email: a thank-you headline, order number and date, up to three line items with quantity and price, subtotal, shipping, tax and total, the shipping address, an estimated delivery date and an Outlook-safe "View order" button.
Payment Receipt Email: A payment receipt for subscriptions and one-off charges: a large amount-paid header, date and invoice number, the card used, itemised lines with tax and total, billing details, a "Download invoice" button and a billing-support line.

Frequently Asked Questions
An email sent in direct response to something a user did or to their account: password resets, verification codes, order confirmations, receipts, shipping updates and security alerts. Promotional emails, such as newsletters and sales, are marketing email.
No. Under US CAN-SPAM, emails whose main purpose is transactional don't need an unsubscribe link. They should still identify the sender, and adding marketing content can turn them into commercial email, so keep promotions out.
Use a provider built for it, such as Postmark, Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun or Resend, ideally on a separate sending domain or stream from your marketing email. Copy the HTML and the plain-text version from the editor into your provider's template.
