Layout tab
If you would like to add/remove the fields in the Email form without affecting the checkout form fields, it is possible in this section.
In the Form Layout, you can create a custom form by adding the field shortcode given at the top of the layout tab page and displaying that field in the form.
To add any new fields, go to J2Commerce > Setup > Custom fields. Click 'New' to create a new field. See the images and instructions below.
Enter the label name, field name, choose field type, and set the status to Published.
If you don’t want to display this new field in checkout and want to display it only in the Email form, then in the custom field display settings, set NO to all layouts (Checkout billing address layout, Checkout shipping address layout, Checkout payment method layout).
Now, in the form layout, add the shortcodes of the fields you want to display in the email form. To add a custom field shortcode, copy the field name in J2Commerce > Setup > Custom fields section and paste it in the form. The field name should be enclosed in square braces. For example, [message].
Form Layout: Add the code for the message into the message form in the Layout tab of the Request Quote / Email Cart App

Language Email tab
In this section, the email template could be set up. The shortcodes found in the previous tab could be used here. The order in which they are specified here would determine their order in the email notifications.
If the site is multi-lingual, the languages available would be displayed here and the email templates could be set up for each one of them accordingly.
On a multi-lingual site: The available languages are listed in separate tabs next to the Email Configuration tab (instead of the English tab shown above)
Email Subject: Enter the shortcodes and the subject of the email here. ie: [first_name] [last_name] has just submitted a new emailed cart!
Email Body: In the Email body section, you can use the shortcodes (which are controlled by the email config tab) to display the dynamic information such as customer’s name, email, country, cart items, etc..[first_name][last\_name][email][phone\_1][phone_2][company][tax_number][address\_1][address_2][city][zip][country\_id][zone_id][cart\_item][user_name][site\_name]
To display the custom field information (entered by the user when filling the form) in an email that the customer and admin receive, it is possible by adding the shortcode of the respective custom field in the Email body editor. For example, if you are having a text area as a custom field in your email form, then copy the field name (you can get it in the custom field section J2Commerce > Setup > Custom fields) and paste it in the Email body editor. The instructions for adding new Custom Fields are mentioned previously in this doc.
