SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email authentication protocol that prevents unauthorized senders from sending emails on behalf of your domain. By validating which servers are allowed to send emails for your domain, SPF helps protect against spoofing and phishing.
This guide explains how to configure SPF for Shopify, a leading e-commerce platform that sends order notifications, marketing emails, and other communications on your store’s behalf.
Note: If you’re already using Sendmarc for SPF management, simply copy ‘include:shops.shopify.com’ and follow the steps here.
To authorize Shopify to send emails on your domain’s behalf:
Example of an updated SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:another.net include:shops.shopify.com ~all |
Example of a new SPF record:
Host | Type | Value |
---|---|---|
@ or blank | TXT | v=spf1 include:shops.shopify.com ~all |
Allow up to 48 hours for DNS propagation, depending on your DNS host.
