Suppress Confirmation Email 

This option, added in Aptify 5.5.2, stops an automated confirmation email from being sent to the customers.

If a user is creating bulk orders with a status of Regular, the bulk order process sends emails to the recipients, since the Suppress Confirmation Emails option will be cleared on all of the generated orders. If this option is selected on the Bulk Orders form, it should be selected on all generated orders, so email messages are not sent to the customers.
