📬 Why Set Up Custom Domain Emails?
Having verified custom domain emails ensures your messages land in the inbox (not spam!), builds customer trust, and complies with global anti-spam laws.
CheckoutJoy enables DKIM authentication automatically, so you’re covered without needing to adjust DNS settings.
This default setting cannot be turned off, but setting up your own authentication can further improve deliverability.
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) verifies your emails with a secure signature, confirming both your identity and that your content hasn’t been tampered with.
This tool protects you and your customers from spam, forgery, and phishing, ensuring emails remain unchanged from sender to recipient.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) verifies the “return-path” or bounce address in your emails to prevent spoofing or forgery.
It also ensures that failure notifications go back to the right sender address when emails can’t reach recipients.
Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) uses SPF and DKIM to verify your identity,
guiding email providers on handling unverified messages. Setting up DMARC helps avoid spam filters, ensuring your emails reach their destinations.
To give your brand a boost, set up custom DKIM authentication with your domain, so CheckoutJoy can display your own domain details in the email header.
This setup may require adjusting your DNS records, so you may want help from a domain registrar or website manager.
