Shopify Email Deliverability & SPF/DKIM Setup Services

Struggling with Shopify emails landing in spam or not reaching customers at all? Our Shopify Email Deliverability & SPF/DKIM Setup Service helps you authenticate your domain, improve inbox placement, and build trust with email providers so your order updates, marketing emails, and support messages reach the right inbox..



Why Shopify Email Deliverability & SPF/DKIM Setup Is Important

Shopify relies heavily on email communication to keep store operations running smoothly. Order confirmations, shipping updates, password resets, refund notifications, and customer support emails are all critical touchpoints. If these emails fail to reach customers's inboxes, it can directly impact sales, trust, and customer satisfaction.

  1. Order & Transaction Emails Must Reach Customers
    When Shopify emails land in spam or fail to deliver, customers may believe their order did not go through. This often leads to duplicate orders, chargebacks, and unnecessary support requests. Proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration ensures these transactional emails are recognized as legitimate and reliably delivered.
  2. Email Providers Now Require Authentication
    Major email providers like Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo actively block or filter emails that are not properly authenticated. Without SPF and DKIM records, Shopify emails are more likely to be flagged as suspicious. Setting up these records helps your domain comply with modern email security standards.
  3. Prevent Emails from Going to Spam
    Spam filters analyze domain reputation and authentication. Missing or incorrect SPF/DKIM records significantly increase the chance of emails landing in spam folders. Correct configuration improves sender trust and inbox placement over time.
  4. Protect Your Domain from Spoofing & Abuse
    Without DMARC protection, attackers can spoof your domain and send fraudulent emails pretending to be your store. This can damage your brand reputation and customer trust. Proper email authentication helps prevent unauthorized email usage and phishing attempts.
  5. Improve Customer Experience & Trust
    Customers expect immediate confirmation after placing an order. Reliable email delivery reassures them that their purchase was successful and builds confidence in your brand. A smooth email experience reduces confusion and increases repeat purchases.
  6. Reduce Support Tickets & Operational Issues
    Many support requests come from customers not receiving emails. Fixing email deliverability reduces unnecessary support workload and allows you to focus on growing your store instead of handling avoidable issues.
  7. Maintain Long-Term Email Reputation
    Email deliverability is not a one-time fix. Proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC setup establishes a strong sender reputation that improves long-term inbox placement and protects your domain as your store grows.
