SMTP Settings

When you first get started with shopVOX - any emails you send to your clients are sent through our mail server. It's okay though- it will still show your Name and Email in the "From" fields - so to your customer it looks as if it's coming from you.

However, depending on your customers email client - there is a chance your email could get blocked or marked as spam because it is showing that it is sent from your email address using our email server.

To make sure your email deliver ability rate is high - we recommend you add your own SMTP settings and send all emails through your own email server.

SMTP Settings

How to find? Simply click your profile on the top right corner to get started

  1. Scroll past your Profile info and you will see SMTP Settings
  2. Click Add SMTP Settings
  1. Enter your SMTP Port and Mail Server. You will also input your email address and your Email Password (not your shopVOX password). Keep in mind that every user in your account needs to set up their own SMTP in their own profile when they are logged in. You may need to reach out to your email provider to find out that provider's SMTP port. Before you do, take a look at the list below. We provided the SMTP information for a couple of common email servers to make this part easy.
