Admin notifications are emails sent to a store owner after a new order is placed and when products get low in stock.
You can change the email address for admin notifications and include email addresses for your staff members to ensure they also receive admin notifications. Additionally, a store owner has the option to receive copies of all email notifications sent to customers.
You can enable or disable admin notifications in your store admin, Settings → Notifications.
