How do I set up BigCommerce email?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:47 am

When starting out with BigCommerce, one of the first things you’ll want to do is set up your email account. This can be done in a few different ways, which we’ll discuss below.

Option 1: Use Your Email Provider’s Provider

If you already have an email account with a provider like Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, you can simply sign in to your BigCommerce account and set up your email address there. This will default to the provider’s SMTP server, so you may need to adjust your settings if you’re using a different provider.

Option 2: Use Your BigCommerce Account’s Email Address

If you don’t have a preexisting email account, you can set up your BigCommerce account to use your own email address. This will require you to create an account with a provider like Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, and then set up your email address there.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with BigCommerce or email set up, it is best to consult with someone who is before proceeding. Incorrectly setting up BigCommerce email can result in lost or undeliverable emails, which can be frustrating and cause disruptions in communication.

You’ll then need to provide your BigCommerce account’s email address as your email address in your account settings.

Option 3: Use a Third-Party Email Provider

If you want to use a different email provider, you can use a third-party provider like MailChimp or SendGrid. This will require you to set up an account with that provider, and then provide your BigCommerce account’s email address as your contact info in your account settings.

Once you’ve set up your account with that provider, you’ll be able to send and receive email using that address.
