Verify an Email Domain within Carts Guru

Help ensure your campaigns reach your recipients' inboxes when you set up Carts Guru in your SPF record. Inbox Service Providers (ISPs), like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, use SPF authentication as a way to scan incoming emails for spam or spoofed addresses. Emails that fail authentication are more likely to arrive in a spam or junk folder.

Authenticate your domain with Carts Guru by modifying your domain's DNS records. These changes allow your campaigns to appear to come from your domain, instead of from our servers. After you've made the required DNS changes, please wait 24-48 hours for the changes to propagate. Why should I do this?

Step 1 - Domain verification

Verification is the process of proving that you own the property that you claim to own. We need to confirm ownership once you are verified for a property.

You can find the value to copy/paste inside the Site setting section of the platform by clicking on the Check button.

Step 2 - SPF Update

Verification is the process of proving that you own the property that you claim to own. We need to confirm ownership once you are verified for a property.  

You can find the value to copy/paste in the email deliverability box in the Site setting section where you find the DNS value.

SPF Tips

• SPF should be set up with a TXT record, rather than an SPF record.
• When you make your updates, it's important to also ensure that any other email service provider (ESP) or internet service provider (ISP) you use is also included in your SPF record.

• Avoid creating more than one TXT record for SPF. However, you can create multiple values in the same record with an include statement.

Here is an example SPF record.

v=spf1 include:spf.domain.com include:cartsguru.io ?all

• Depending on your provider, you may need to add quotation marks around your entire SPF record.

Here is another example SPF record.

"v=spf1 include:cartsguru.io ?all"
