SPF helps you authorize the sending sources for your outgoing emails. This in turn helps you gain protection against spam and email fraud. In order to enable SPF for Shopify, follow these steps:
Enabling SPF for Shopify
Login to your DNS registrar’s account
Navigate to Tools & Settings > DNS Template
You need to edit the DNS TXT record related to SPF
An SPF TXT record for Shopify will have the following syntax:
yourdomain.com TXT v=spf1 include:shops.shopify.com -all
Publish this record in your DNS records section for your respective domain.
Note: If you don’t have an SPF record previously for your domain, simply publish the above-mentioned record to enable SPF for outgoing emails using Shopify. If you do have an existing SPF record in your DNS, you need to modify it to include Shopify, as shown below:
Previous SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.zoho.com -all
Modified SPF record: v=spf1 include:spf.zoho.com include:shops.shopify.com -all
Save changes
Wait for 24-48 hours to allow your DNS to process the changes
Finally, you can look up your record using our SPF lookup tool, and enable DMARC reporting for your domains with DMARC report analyzer.
