Installation

The Vendure EmailPlugin is usually installed by default, but if you don’t have it in your project follow the installation instructions to install and configure the plugin in your project.

Next, install the @aws-sdk/client-ses package:

npm install @aws-sdk/client-ses

Configuration

Now you are ready to configure the EmailPlugin to use the SES transport method:

// src/vendure-config.ts
import { VendureConfig } from '@vendure/core';
import { defaultEmailHandlers, EmailPlugin } from '@vendure/email-plugin';
import { SES, SendRawEmailCommand } from '@aws-sdk/client-ses'

const ses = new SES({
  apiVersion: '2010-12-01',
  region: 'eu-central-1',
  credentials: {
    accessKeyId: process.env.SES_ACCESS_KEY || '',
    secretAccessKey: process.env.SES_SECRET_KEY || '',
  },
});

const config: VendureConfig = {
  // Add an instance of the plugin to the plugins array
  plugins: [
    EmailPlugin.init({
      handlers: defaultEmailHandlers,
      templatePath: path.join(__dirname, 'static/email/templates'),
      transport: {
        type: 'ses',
        SES: { ses, aws: { SendRawEmailCommand } },
        sendingRate: 10, // optional messages per second sending rate
      },
    }),
  ],
};
