How Much Is a Shopify Email Address?

Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 2:59 pm

When it comes to setting up an online shop, one of the first things you need to do is choose a platform. Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms out there, and for good reason. It’s user-friendly, has tons of features, and is backed by a great company.

Once you’ve decided to use Shopify, you need to set up your shop. This includes choosing your domain name, which is your shop’s address on the internet. You can either use a domain name that you already own, or you can buy one through Shopify. If you buy a domain through Shopify, it will be automatically connected to your shop.

If you use a domain name that you already own, you’ll need to connect it to your Shopify store. This is called “pointing” your domain name to Shopify. You can do this yourself, or you can contact your domain name registrar and they can help you.

Once your domain is set up and pointing to Shopify, you’ll need to set up your email address. This is the address that customers will use to contact you, and it will be associated with your domain name. For example, if your domain name is myshop.com, your email address could be hello@myshop.com.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using a Shopify email address for your business, be aware that there is no guarantee of privacy or security. Any email sent through Shopify could be intercepted or read by anyone with access to the Shopify servers. In addition, Shopify has been known to suspend accounts without notice or warning, which could leave you without access to your email account.

You can either set up a new email address through Shopify, or you can use an existing email address that you have set up with another provider, like Gmail or Yahoo. To set up a new email address through Shopify:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Email.
  2. In the Email address field, enter the new email address that you want to use for your shop.
  3. In the Password field, enter a password for the new email account.
  4. In the Confirm password field, enter the password again.

To use an existing email address withShopify:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Email.
  2. [Under Send all outgoing mail using:], select [the provider that you want to use]. For example, Gmail or Yahoo.
  3. [under Incoming Mail Server:] enter the following information from your email provider [e.g., Gmail or Yahoo]:
    • [Server hostname]
    • [Port number]
    • [SSL required?]
    • [under Username:] enter your full email address [e., myname@gmail.com].
    • [under Password:, enter the password for your email account.]
