Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:23 am

Adding MX records to BigCommerce can be a bit confusing, as there are a few different ways to do it. There are also a few different options for how to add MX records, so it’s important to choose the method that is best suited for your needs.

If you’re just looking to add MX records for your own domain, you can add them using the BigCommerce add-on. This add-on is available for both the BigCommerce online store and the BigCommerce app. To use the add-on, first log in to your BigCommerce account and click on the Settings button in the top right corner.

From here, you can select the Domains section and add your domain name. Once you’ve added your domain, click on the Save button to finish.

If you want to add MX records for a specific domain, you can use a DNS service like CloudFlare. To do this, you’ll first need to create a CloudFlare account. Once you’ve created your account, you’ll need to add your domain name to CloudFlare. To do this, go to CloudFlare’s DNS page and enter your domain name.

PRO TIP: Adding MX records to BigCommerce can be a complex and time-consuming process. If you are not familiar with DNS and MX records, we recommend that you seek out professional help before proceeding. Incorrectly configured MX records can result in lost or delayed email, and may cause other unexpected problems.

Once you’ve added your domain, CloudFlare will give you a CloudFlare DNS record. You can then add this record to your BigCommerce account by going to Settings > Domains and selecting the CloudFlare DNS record.

Finally, if you want to add MX records for all of your domains, you can use a third-party DNS service like Dyn. To use Dyn, you’ll first need to create an account. After you’ve created your account, you’ll need to add your domain names to Dyn. To do this, go to Dyn’s DNS page and enter your domain names.

Dyn will then give you a Dyn DNS record. You can then add this record to your BigCommerce account by going to Settings > Domains and selecting the Dyn DNS record.

When you add MX records to your BigCommerce account, be sure to choose the method that is best suited for your needs. Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to choose the method that is best suited for your needs.
