- BACKEND/services/email.service.js: shared nodemailer transport; sendOrderConfirmationEmail builds a branded HTML receipt (item table, order ID, estimated delivery +5 days, total charged) and sends it; also exports sendPasswordResetEmail for the password-reset flow; graceful no-op with console.log when SMTP env vars are not set - BACKEND/controllers/checkout.controller.js: after Order.create in the Stripe webhook, fires sendOrderConfirmationEmail using session.customer_details.email (preferred, always present in Stripe Checkout) with fallback to looking up the User document by userId stored in session metadata; email is non-blocking — failures are caught and logged, never breaking order fulfillment - nodemailer added to BACKEND dependencies

@swetalin-10 is attempting to deploy a commit to the niharika-mente's projects Team on Vercel. A member of the Team first needs to authorize it. |
Resolved add/add conflict in BACKEND/services/email.service.js: - kept sendOrderConfirmationEmail (this PR) - kept sendPasswordResetEmail from upstream (niharika-mente#360) - unified on single createTransporter() factory
Resolved 2 conflicts in checkout.controller.js: - imports: kept sendOrderConfirmationEmail (this PR) + processReferralOnPurchase (upstream) - webhook body: kept both post-Order.create blocks — confirmation email and referral reward

The service logs a warning and skips silently — no crashes, no required setup for local dev.
