Why e-commerce stores ask this
Email open rates keep falling while shipping questions keep arriving. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when order confirmations, dispatch notices, delivery windows and cart reminders stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is fewer support tickets and a measurable lift on recovered baskets. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
