This module is designed for scrapbooking sites that carry products from a number of different designers. On completion of each order, it sends a sales report email to each designer whose products were included in that order.
The module assumes that you're using the manufacturer's capability of the cart to specify designers, and using the manufacturers_url field to enter the designer's email address. On completion of an order, the module basically gets a list of all designers whose products are included in the order and sends each of them a personal email that tells them which products were purchased and what the price of each was. No customer information is included in that email. The email does include details of which coupon code was used (if any - and only if it was valid for this designer's product), which pricing group the customer is in (if any) and what the group pricing discount percentage was.
An example of the email sent is:
From: (your store name and email address)
To: (designer's email address)

(text in brown can be modified by editing the language file included as part of the module)
The module installation is very straightforward - just upload the set of files to the server. All of the files are new additions - no original zen cart files are overwritten or modified. Other than ensuring that all the designer's email addresses are entered as manufacturer's urls, there is no admin configuration required.
