Magento 2 - Place an order without sending email

We can set the flag for order: $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false)

We can see some good examples for online payments:

vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/Webapi/SubmitObserver.php vendor/magento/module-paypal/Model/Payflowlink.php 

The solution is to use this:

use Magento\Quote\Model\QuoteManagement; ... // Create order from quote $order = $this->quoteManagement->submit($quote); 

QuoteManagement will not send an order until you call

use Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Sender\OrderSender; ... // Send the email when desired $this->orderSender->send($order); 

I was looking for this and I have came up with this:

1. Most solutions out there is doing something like this:

$cartId = $this->cartManagementInterface->createEmptyCart(); ... ... $orderId = $this->cartManagementInterface->placeOrder($quote->getId()); 

Which is the easiest solution in my opinion.

But this method triggers an observer:

sales_model_service_quote_submit_success 

Which is responsible for sending the emails.

vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/SubmitObserver.php 

This means you can't do $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false) before the emails is sent at least once.

For this what I did was :

1. When creating the cart do:

$cart->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);

2. Make a new observer that will be executed before Quote module:

 <sequence> <module name="Magento_Sales"/> <module name="Magento_Quote"/> </sequence> 

3. On the observer do:

 if($quote->getCanSendNewEmailFlag() == false){ $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false); 

With this now you can set the setCanSendNewEmailFlag before sending an email.

i checked your code you are using

$this->cartManagement->placeOrder($quote->getId());

the simple workaround for your placeOrder function is. Magento is sending the email by observing this sales_model_service_quote_submit_success dispatch event and vendor/magento/module-quote/Observer/SubmitObserver.php this file is observing that event and will trigger mail based on the condition.

You can observe sales_model_service_quote_submit_before this dispatch event to change the order can send new email flag to false like this $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false);

etc/events.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd"> <event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_before"> <observer instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\Order\ChangeEmailFlag" name="events_change_flag"/> </event> </config> 

In ChangeEmailFlag.php

 <?php namespace Vendor\Module\Observer\Order; use Magento\Quote\Model\QuoteRepository; use Psr\Log\LoggerInterface; class ChangeEmailFlag implements \Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface { protected $quoteRepository; protected $logger; public function __construct( QuoteRepository $quoteRepository, LoggerInterface $logger ) { $this->logger = $logger; $this->quoteRepository = $quoteRepository; } public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer) { try { $order= $observer->getData('order'); if(//your condition) { $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false); } } catch (\Exception $e) { $this->logger->error($e->getMessage()); } return $this; } } 

Tested in Magento2.4.6 working perfect.

Please upvote if it is useful.

You can stop sending emails using below code . Tested and working fine for Magento 2.4.7.

Create file events.xml

Vendor\Module\etc\events.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Event/etc/events.xsd"> <event name="sales_model_service_quote_submit_before"> <observer name="disable_methodcode_order_email" instance="Vendor\Module\Observer\DisableOrderEmail" /> </event> </config> 

Create new file DisableOrderEmail.php

Vendor\Module\Observer\DisableOrderEmail.php

<?php namespace Vendor\Module\Observer; use Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface; class DisableOrderEmail implements ObserverInterface { /** * Execute function * * @param \Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer * @return void */ public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer) { $order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder(); if ($order && $order->getPayment() && $order->getPayment()->getMethod() === 'methodcode') { $order->setCanSendNewEmailFlag(false); } } } 

have you checked this: admin->Stores->Configuration->Sales->Sales Emails->Order and set Enabled as no

now check !!
