You can configure who receives order confirmation emails after submitting an order using the **Send Order Confirmation** **To** setting on the **Administration > Settings > Order Management** page.

For example, when a sales representative places an order on a customer's behalf, the order confirmation email can go to the email address for that sales representative's user profile, or it can go to a combination of the email addresses on both the user or customer bill-to or ship-to records.

To update the text or format of the order confirmation email, see [Create and edit email templates](docId:_Xaj6fJi6PW_0SJEEvPrB).

1. Go to **Administration > Settings > Order Management**.
2. Locate the **Send Order Confirmation To** setting and click **Select**.
3. Select the desired options to determine which email addresses the order confirmation email is sent to. The default is **User Email**.
4. Click **Save**.

Optimizely Configured Commerce uses Mailgun by default. You can opt-in and use your own SMTP resources to send emails. If so, you are responsible for your own security.
