How to Set up a Personal Mailgun Account to Work With Woo360® and Your Domain Name
(This is an advanced task and should be handled by someone with knowledge of domain and DNS settings. If you would like assistance with this we can handle it for a one time fee.)
By default, all emails sent from your Woo360® website are sent from the email address mailer.madwire.net. Sometimes, these emails may be detected as "spam" by some email providers. To prevent your emails from being sent to spam, you can set up your own Mailgun account so that all of your emails are sent from an email address that matches your domain name.
How to Set up a Personal Mailgun Account
1. Create a Mailgun account - https://www.mailgun.com
- Please view plans and pricing to ensure you are purchasing the volume needed for your store. (In order to setup your actual domain to send, credit card info must be entered into Mailgun)
2. Activate your account - Check your inbox for a "Please verify your Mailgun account" email, click the link, follow the instructions, and you're done!
3. Set up your custom domain in Mailgun and verify your DNS records.
4. Send credentials and sender information.
5. Log in to your Wordpress/Woo360® site and update the Mailgun plugin information:
- Mailgun settings are found under: Settings > Mailgun

- Update the following items:
- Mailgun Domain Name (the subdomain you setup)
- API Key - (provided by Mailgun)
- From Address (email address it appears to be sending from)
- From Name (who it appears to be from)
