The prompt

Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.

  • An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
  • A [layout] step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links.
  • Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

Over MCP, tell your agent to clone the Temway share I6Rclu7vwuCUX9dBQbiGt and rebrand. For the full model, point an MCP agent at get_conceptemail-structure, layouts-vs-emails, design-recipes.

The receipt a subscriber gets when their plan renews: the amount rendered at display size as a typographic figure, the payment details underneath — plan, date, card, reference — with one link to the full invoice. The payment-figure layout template turns the number itself into the hero; no checkmark, no celebration, just the figure.

Snapshot

  • Goal: confirm a subscription payment cleared and give the subscriber their receipt details plus an invoice link.
  • Audience & tone: subscribers who just paid for their plan. Professional, calm, confirming — just the facts.
  • Palette: page #ededed · container #ffffff · text #18181b / #707072 (muted) · accent #3f3f46
  • Font: body Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif, heading Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif
  • Artwork: one payment-figure layout hero (a single rasterized image), 600×460 — A payment confirmation reduced to four elements: a tracked label with a hairline running off the right edge, the amount at display scale in tabular figures, and one reference line in code tracking. A 5× type ratio with nothing in between. Everything below it is native, selectable, clickable.

Build recipe

Each step is one block in the flat stack, top to bottom. [native] = a real email block. [layout] = a free-form layout embedded as a single image.

A 5× type ratio with nothing in between. Alt text: “Payment of 84.00 confirmed, card ending 4242, reference PM-4821.”.

  4. [native] Body copy 2 — text. “Plan Pro (annual) · Payment method Visa ending 4242 · Billed 31 July 2026 · Next renewal 31 July 2027.”, fontSize: 16, color #707072, left.
  5. [native] Primary CTA — button. Label “View the invoice”, fill #3f3f46, color #ffffff, shapeStyle: ‘0_2’, left.
  6. [native] Footer rule — divider. short (96px) rule, 1px, color #e9e9e9.

  8. [native] Footer address — address. Postal address + unsubscribe, address.color #707072, address.fontFamily Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif, center.

Make it yours

  1. Swap the amount, plan, card, and billing period for the real charge — edit the layout’s amount text via update_layout_block_element.
  2. Point “View invoice” at the hosted invoice or billing portal.
  3. The template carries no accent colour on purpose; let the number do the work.

About transactional email templates

Transactional email gets the highest open rates of any category, because recipients expect and want it — an order confirmation or shipping update gets read almost every time it lands. That makes it a branding opportunity most teams under-invest in relative to promotional email.

Why bother designing a transactional email — isn't the information all that matters?

Transactional emails have the highest open rates of any email you send, because recipients expect and want them — that makes them a real branding opportunity most teams under-invest in relative to promotional email.

What information has to be in an order confirmation email?

Order number, itemized contents, total charged, and expected delivery or next steps at minimum — the order-summary template below leads with those before anything promotional.

Can I add an upsell or review request to a transactional template?

Yes, but keep it secondary — the templates below place the transactional information first and any cross-sell or review ask below the fold, so it never competes with the confirmation itself.

Do these transactional templates work for both order and account-related events?

Yes — the collection below covers order confirmations and shipping updates as well as payment receipts and return confirmations, so both commerce- and account-triggered sends are covered.
