Setting Up DNS Records on Shopify
When you sign up with ShopAgain, one of our recommendations is to set up a dedicated email domain. This setup process involves providing a domain name (e.g., updates.example.com) to ShopAgain. The system then generates the necessary DNS records which include TXT, CNAME, and MX records.
Note: ShopAgain generates five records that you will need to add to your Shopify account. It's crucial to add all of these records to ensure successful setup and verification.
This guide will help you not only generate these DNS records via ShopAgain but also configure these generated records on your Shopify store. By the end of this guide, you will be able to connect your dedicated email domain with ShopAgain and validate it for seamless email operations.
