Email Forwarding and Email Hosting in Shopify
Introduction to email services in Shopify
The Shopify platform does not offer email hosting services but does provide an email forwarding solution. This allows users to receive email sent to their domain address using the Shopify service and forward it to an existing email address like Gmail or Yahoo.
How to set up email forwarding
1. Go to the Domains page in the main menu of the Shopify platform. 2. Select the desired domain where you want to set up email forwarding. 3. Click Set up email forwarding . 4. Enter the new email address on your domain and the existing email address where you want to forward emails.
Limitations and conditions
The Shopify platform does not allow you to send email from your domain directly through the service, so you must use an external email service provider if you need email sending capabilities.
Alternative mail storage options
To enjoy full email hosting services, you may need to integrate external services like G Suite or Zoho Mail. These methods provide mail storage and sending in addition to email forwarding.
Summary
The Shopify platform makes it easy to set up email forwarding for your domain. However, for additional email hosting services, it is recommended to use external systems that offer a wider range of capabilities.
