Transfer Confirmation Email PRO
Enable email notifications for store admins when transfers are created, with order details and direct links to Stripe transfer records.
Overview#
The Transfer Confirmation Email feature sends an email notification to the store admin each time a Stripe transfer is created by the plugin. This provides a real-time record of transfer activity without needing to log in to the WordPress admin or Stripe Dashboard.
Enabling transfer emails#
Navigate to Split Pay → Main (top-level menu, added in 3.7.0).
Check the Enable Transfer Confirmation Email checkbox.
Save your settings.
Once enabled, the store admin email address (configured in WooCommerce → Settings → General) will receive an email for every transfer the plugin creates.
Successful transfer emails#
When a transfer completes successfully, the confirmation email includes:
- WooCommerce Order ID — The order that triggered the transfer.
- Transfer Amount — The amount sent to the connected account.
- Connected Account ID — The Stripe account that received the funds.
- Stripe Transfer ID — A unique reference for the transfer.
- Direct Link — A clickable link that opens the transfer directly in your Stripe Dashboard for quick verification.
Tip: Use the Stripe Dashboard link in the email to quickly verify transfer details, view associated metadata, or check the connected account's payout status.
Failed transfer emails#
If a transfer fails, the confirmation email includes a failure note explaining why the transfer did not complete. Common failure reasons include:
- The connected account has not completed Stripe onboarding.
- Insufficient balance on the platform's Stripe account.
- The connected account ID is invalid or not connected to your platform.
- Stripe API error or rate limiting.

Managing email volume#
Each transfer generates a separate email. For stores processing many orders with multiple connected accounts per order, this can result in a high volume of emails. Consider the following approaches:
- Email filters: Set up a filter in your email client to automatically organize Split Pay transfer emails into a dedicated folder.
- Selective monitoring: Enable emails temporarily when testing or onboarding new vendors, then disable when everything is running smoothly.
- Use the Transfers tab: For ongoing monitoring, the Transfers tab in the plugin provides a more efficient way to review transfer history without email clutter.
Transfer confirmation emails use your WordPress site's default email sending method. If emails aren't arriving, check your WordPress email configuration and consider using an SMTP plugin for reliable delivery.
