# Customizing the appearance of emails

You can align the style of Perkville’s transactional emails with your brand by customizing the header, buttons, footer, and referral section. These changes apply to emails such as point earnings, referral invitations, and registration invites.

#### Accessing email customization settings

1. Log into your Perkville business account.
2. Go to **Settings > Business > Branding**.
3. Click the **Preview** button.
4. Select the **Emails** tab in the preview interface.

There are three types of email templates you can customize:

* **Earned points emails**
* **Referral email**
* **Invite/registration email**

Use the tabs within the Emails section to switch between templates and see how your changes apply to each.

#### Editable elements

**Header**

* **Background**: Set the header’s background color.
* **Text**: Set the header’s text color.
