Sending a custom triggered email to a non-member

Hi there. I have a wix site that sends out custom digital PDF certificates to people. They purchase a certificate and fill in a text box which then gets sent off to pdfgeneratorapi.com and it then sends a certificate back (with their custom text) which is then stored in a wix collection.

At the moment I can only seem to be able to email site members to tell them their certificate is ready - using the following:

return triggeredEmails.emailContact(type, item.buyerID, {
            variables: {
                orderID: item.orderId,
                type: item.mainType,
                message: item.message,
            }
        })
        .then(() => {
            wixData.insert('Testing', {
                "State": 'email success'
            });
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            console.log(error);

            wixData.insert('Testing', {
                "State": 'ERROR: ' + error
            });
        });

Is there a way to collect the user’s email either on the product page, or on the checkout page, so that I can send an email without them being a site member?

I know I can use third party applications to do this, but I’d rather not have to pay yet another subscription!

Thanks for reading

What you could do is create a backend function for the onOrderPaid() event. This will give you the users email. From there you can create a contact in the CRM and then send the email to the contact.

Here is links to all of the support pages -
