Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

I know this has been here for ages, but I want to store the template in a plugin folder instead of the woocommerce folder, does anyone know how this is possible to do?

Whenever I try to do it, there will be an error because the plugin is expecting the template to be stored in the WooCommerce folder and no where else.

@FluxCoder, have your resolved the problem? I need to send emails from my own plugin using WC email template. I cannot find how to do it.
