To create a new transactional email, go to System -> Transaction Emails. All transaction emails are gathered in a grid here. Next, you should click the Add New Template button.

Select the Order Status Changed template on the newly appeared screen. Alternatively, this page enables you to create a custom template, but for our example we don’t describe this procedure. Click Load Template to fill in the below fields with the predefined content.

Now, you can modify the template customizing it according to your requirements. Don’t forget to click Save.

The next step requires assigning a template to an order status. All statuses are listed under Extendware -> Extensions -> Order Status Email Templates -> Email Templates. Select any row from the grid.

Now, you can set new templates for each store view.

A new order status can be created under Extendware -> Extensions -> Order Status Email Templates -> Order Statuses. You just have to click Create New Status: specify Status Code and Status Label. Next, you can add store view specific labels.

By clicking Assign Status you will be able to add templates to the newly created status.
