Retail Transactional Email — Pickup Ready
A minimal retail transactional for buy-online-pickup-in-store — a clean wordmark header, order details, store address, pickup hours, and a single 'directions' CTA.

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.

it into your workspace, then ask the in-editor assistant to rebrand it. Over MCP, tell
your agent to clone the Temway share nRaBiP2p3fj71dOexi9Lg and rebrand. For the
full model, point an MCP agent at get_concept — email-structure,

The pickup-ready notification that customers act on immediately. No hero artwork — just a wordmark, the order details in a clean spec block (order number, items, store address), pickup hours, and a directions link. Functional, fast, the email customers search their inbox for when they’re already in the car.

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.
See all transactional templates →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.
