Emails not sending

Hi,

I've set up Perch Shop and I'm having issues with the sending of the emails. I've sent test emails and also do not work. With the test email, it's said that the email has been sent successfully but nothing is recieved.

I've gone through the email configuration document and this just times out before the email gets sent.

Assuming you have the mail sending configured correctly. Did you check your spam folder? Did you set all of these

define('PERCH_EMAIL_METHOD', 'smtp');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_AUTH', true);
define('PERCH_EMAIL_SECURE', 'ssl');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_PORT', 465);
define('PERCH_EMAIL_USERNAME', 'your.name@gmail.com');
define('PERCH_EMAIL_PASSWORD', 'your gmail password');

or does your host allow out of the box sending?

I have tried that, but the connection times out before the email sends

Have you tried testing with Mailtrap? https://mailtrap.io

It works great in Mailtrap so is it an issue with hosting?

Sounds like so. Ask your hosting for email sending credentials and also ask for outgoing smtp to be enabled. They could be blocking certain ports so ask if the port you need is opened.
