Email Basket Plugin
J2Commerce (formerly known as J2Store)
This plugin allows your customers to email items in the cart to the store owner and to themselves.
The plugin nicely integrates into the default cart page of J2Commerce. You can ask the customers to provide their name, address, or any other information while emailing the cart.
Requirements
PHP 8.1.0 +
Joomla! 4.x/ Joomla! 5.x +

In the backend, go to Components > J2Commerce > Apps and enable the Email basket plugin.

Parameters
Basic settings
**Disable proceed checkout **
If you set this to 'YES', the plugin will hide the checkout button in the cart.
Article ID for thank you message
The Article given will be displayed after the payment is processed, and it can include a thank you message or any kind of text.
**Enable the show save cart button
Setting 'YES' will display the Save cart button (which is used for unregistered users) on the cart page. Clicking on this button will redirect the customer to register. After registering and logging in, the cart items remain in the basket.
Empty cart after sending email
If you set this to YES, the plugin will empty the cart after emailing the cart items to the store owner.
Time delay in milliseconds to empty the cart
You can set a delay for emptying the cart. The default is 2 seconds.
Layout
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 this section, you can create the custom form by adding the field shortcode given in the top of the layout tab page and display that field in the form.
To add any new fields, go to J2Commerce > Setup > Custom fields. Click 'New' to create a new field.
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].

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:

Enter the subject of the email here.
Email Body
In the Email body section, you can use the shortcodes 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 custom field shortcode should be enclosed in square braces. For example, [message]. Refer to the image below:\
