Understanding miniShop2 Email Template Placeholders for New Orders

Email templates are one of the first places where integration assumptions show up. In miniShop2, order data may be available, but not always under the placeholder name a developer expects at first glance.

The practical lesson from this discussion is simple: email templates should be debugged against the actual order payload and placeholder map, not against memory or naming guesses. Fields like customer email often exist, but under the order structure or naming convention the package itself uses internally.

As an ecosystem topic, this is worth keeping because package integrations succeed or fail on small details like this, and the documentation trail is not always obvious.
