Verifying your branded email address

Before you launch your marketing campaigns, it is important to verify your custom email address first. Verifying it allows you to send emails from your own domain via our email delivery service partner, Postmark.

Otherwise, we'll send your emails from a shared address (hi@amplf.io) we use across our customer base. Thousands of stores share this email, so it might not have the highest open rate.

Using a Custom Email Address

For starters, you need to have an email address that contains the domain of your store. By using an email address such as name@yourdomain.com, you can improve your emails' inbox placement, which positively impacts the performance of your emails.

We don't recommend using email addresses from free email providers like Gmail, Yahoo Hotmail, Outlook, Live, MSN, etc. Most marketing emails sent from these providers end up in spam folders, which may raise questions about your credibility.
