Magento 2 - Place an order without sending email

Question

I'm using the following code to place an order programmatically in Magento 2:

    // Configure the quote
    $quote = $this->cart->getQuote();
    $quote->setInventoryProcessed(false);
    $quote->setPaymentMethod('custom_gateway');
    $quote->save();

    // Set the payment method
    $payment = $quote->getPayment();
    $payment->importData(['method' => 'custom_gateway']);

    // Update the quote
    $quote->collectTotals()->save();

    // Place the order
    $this->cartManagement->placeOrder($quote->getId());

This code is creating the order as expected, but is also sending an email to the shopper.

I would like to send the confirmation email at a later stage in the process, only when the payment has been confirmed.

How can I place an order without notifying the customer?

Answer 1

We can set the flag for order: $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false)

We can see some good examples for online payments:

vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/Webapi/SubmitObserver.php

vendor/magento/module-paypal/Model/Payflowlink.php

Answer 2

The solution is to use this:

use Magento\Quote\Model\QuoteManagement;
...
// Create order from quote
$order = $this->quoteManagement->submit($quote);

QuoteManagement will not send an order until you call

use Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Sender\OrderSender;
...

// Send the email when desired
$this->orderSender->send($order);

I was looking for this and I have came up with this:

1. Most solutions out there is doing something like this:

$cartId = $this->cartManagementInterface->createEmptyCart();
...
...
$orderId = $this->cartManagementInterface->placeOrder($quote->getId());

Which is the easiest solution in my opinion.

But this method triggers an observer:

sales_model_service_quote_submit_success

Which is responsible for sending the emails.

vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/SubmitObserver.php

This means you can't do $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false) before the emails is sent at least once.

For this what I did was :

1. When creating the cart do:

$cart->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);

2. Make a new observer that will be executed before Quote module:

    <sequence>
    <module name="Magento_Sales"/>
    <module name="Magento_Quote"/>
    </sequence>

3. On the observer do:

    if($quote->getCanSendNewEmailFlag() == false){
    $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);

With this now you can set the setCanSendNewEmailFlag before sending an email.

i checked your code you are using

$this->cartManagement->placeOrder($quote->getId());

the simple workaround for your placeOrder function is. Magento is sending the email by observing this sales_model_service_quote_submit_success dispatch event and vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/SubmitObserver.php this file is observing that event and will trigger mail based on the condition.

You can observe sales_model_service_quote_submit_before this dispatch event to change the order can send new email flag to false like this $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);

etc/events.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_before">
        <observer instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\Order\ChangeEmailFlag" name="events_change_flag"/>
    </event>
</config>

In ChangeEmailFlag.php

<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Observer\Order;
  
use Magento\Quote\Model\QuoteRepository;
use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface;

class ChangeEmailFlag implements \Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface
{

    protected $quoteRepository;

    protected $logger;

    public function __construct(
        QuoteRepository $quoteRepository,
        LoggerInterface $logger
    ) {
        $this->logger = $logger;
        $this->quoteRepository = $quoteRepository;
    }

    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
        try {
            $order= $observer->getData('order');
            
            if(//your condition)
            {
                $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);
            }
           
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            $this->logger->error($e->getMessage());
        }
        return $this;
    }
}

Tested in Magento2.4.6 working perfect.

You can stop sending emails using below code . Tested and working fine for Magento 2.4.7.

Create file events.xml

Vendor\Module\etc\events.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd">
    <event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_before">
        <observer name="disable_methodcode_order_email" instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\DisableOrderEmail" />
    </event>
</config>

Create new file DisableOrderEmail.php

Vendor\Module\Observer\DisableOrderEmail.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Observer;

use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface;

class DisableOrderEmail implements ObserverInterface
{
    /**
     * Execute function
     *
     * @param \Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer
     * @return void
     */
    public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer)
    {
        $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
        
        if ($order && $order->getPayment() && $order->getPayment()->getMethod() === 'methodcode') {
            $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);
        }
    }
}
