Change Email Sender in PrestaShop Database

If changes in the admin panel don?t apply, update the database:

1. Access your database via phpMyAdmin or MySQL.
2. Run this SQL query:

   UPDATE ps_configuration 
   SET value = 'Your New Sender Name' 
   WHERE name = 'PS_SHOP_EMAIL_NAME';
   
   UPDATE ps_configuration 
   SET value = 'newemail@yourdomain.com' 
   WHERE name = 'PS_SHOP_EMAIL';
