Checkout payment failed email to customer

Question

I want to send email to customer on checkout payment fail. That he can use alternative payment methods and etc. I can edit payment transaction failed template for this purpose and I know can change things about this at Configuration>Checkout but where I can find the option for customer email? This question is also asked on Magento-forum but no proper answer is provided by any one.

Any help regarding this would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try this. It's perfectly working in my way.

app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Helper/Data.php

Create an array like this in line 198 just before this line:

foreach ($result_sendTo as $recipient) {
   $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area'=>'frontend', 'store'=>$checkout->getStoreId()))

array

 $custdetail[]=array("email"=>$checkout->getCustomerEmail(),'name'  => $checkout->getCustomerFirstname());

then merge with $sendTo array like this:

$result_sendTo = array_merge((array)$sendTo, (array)$custdetail);

then change the variable $sendTo in foreach loop to $result_sendTo like this:

foreach ($result_sendTo as $recipient) {

It's working.
