Confused about how to set up emails for a new Shopify store?<\/p>\n

Yes, Shopify email setup can be tricky, especially for folks without previous experience or technical background.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we created this simple guide.<\/p>\n

Keep reading to learn how to set up Shopify email in less than an hour.<\/p>\n

Shopify Email requirements<\/h2>\n

First things first:<\/p>\n

You can only use the Shopify Email app if your store has a paid subscription. If you\u2019re still on the trial plan, Shopify allows sending test emails to yourself only.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

So\u2014<\/p>\n

Make sure you bought a paid plan before starting the Shopify email setup. The cheapest subscription costs $29\/mo. See the Shopify pricing plans here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shopify email setup<\/h2>\n

Go to the Shopify Email app page<\/a> to begin.<\/p>\n

Click Add app<\/strong> and follow the instructions to start the installation.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Logging into Shopify is required to continue.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019re logged in\u2014<\/p>\n

Click Install App<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

In about five seconds, Shopify Email will be ready to use.<\/p>\n

One important note:<\/p>\n

Shopify doesn\u2019t host your emails. More specifically: you can\u2019t reply directly to your customers from your Shopify email. Instead, they offer two options: email<\/strong> forwarding<\/strong> and third-party hosting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Forwarding<\/strong> means your emails will have @shopifyemail.com at the end. In this case, the messages won\u2019t look very professional. But if you\u2019d like to use this option, use the Add forwarding email address<\/strong> in Domains (now under Settings) in the Shopify dashboard. This option is only available for custom domains (not ending in myshopify.com) purchased through Shopify.<\/p>\n
