When launching businesses on Magento platform, marketers often face difficulty when sending invoices to customers since these invoices are often not well-organized and lack information about sellers and the deals. Therefore, Mageplaza PDF invoice extension is introduced with the aim to help shop admins handle this problem and even provide customers better shopping experiences without putting much effort. Beside default templates, with this extension, users are enabled to design their own templates for emails sending to buyers.
What are CSS and HTML?
HTML, standing for HyperText Markup Language, is used in creating a web page. This language contributes to making of a website via numerous elements presented by tags. These tags represent for different parts in main content of the landing page such as heading, paragraph, table, and so on. In other words, HTML tags are responsible for the content of a website.
CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is applied to manage how HTML tags look like to make a website or online media. It means that, CSS contributes to the layout and appearance of a web page while HTML tags contain all content of this landing page. Therefore, CSS and HTML have a supplementary relationship with each other.
In Mageplaza PDF extension, CSS and HTML support each other to complete templates for PDF files created before sending to customers about their purchases. In other words, what the email looks like and what it contains all depend on user’s configurations for it.
