WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:06.140 So now that you've set up your domain, it's now time to revisit email and complete the setup process. 00:06.170 --> 00:11.030 And the first thing I'm going to show you is how you can access webmail so that you can send and receive 00:11.030 --> 00:13.790 messages using your new email address. 00:13.790 --> 00:16.880 And so to do that we'll click on login to Control Panel. 00:16.880 --> 00:22.760 Once again click on email accounts where of course you're going to see the email that you created. 00:22.760 --> 00:27.200 And then over on the right hand side you see this button check email. 00:27.230 --> 00:33.680 When I click on this, it brings me to this page where I'd like you to click on the open button, where 00:33.680 --> 00:40.880 it brings me directly to my email account, meaning I can now send and receive emails as info at BestBuy 00:40.970 --> 00:42.350 bargains.com. 00:42.350 --> 00:47.150 But there are still a couple of things that we need to do, and in order to finish those off, we'll 00:47.150 --> 00:51.860 need to head back to Shopify Admin and come down to the settings. 00:51.860 --> 00:57.750 And then here on the store details, click on this edit next to your profile because it's here that 00:57.750 --> 00:59.790 we now want to update a couple of things. 00:59.820 --> 01:05.700 First of all, the store name by default it was called my store, but now we can call it Bestmark bargains. 01:05.700 --> 01:09.510 So let's remove that and put in Bestmark bargains. 01:09.510 --> 01:15.180 And then we want to update the store email, which as you can see, is the email that we use to receive 01:15.180 --> 01:17.100 messages about our store. 01:17.130 --> 01:21.510 And up to now, of course, we've been using the email that I use when I first signed up for Shopify, 01:21.540 --> 01:25.560 but now we can change that for our new email info at bestmark. 01:25.560 --> 01:26.850 bargains.com. 01:26.850 --> 01:31.080 And with those two changes made, all we need to do is to click on save. 01:31.830 --> 01:35.760 And then there's one more place where we need to update our email. 01:35.760 --> 01:38.760 And that's down here under notifications. 01:38.760 --> 01:40.650 So click on notifications. 01:40.650 --> 01:43.830 And this time we want to update the sender email. 01:43.830 --> 01:49.590 So you can see that the sender email is the email that your store uses to send emails to your customers. 01:49.590 --> 01:52.840 And we'll be looking at how we actually do that later on in the course. 01:52.840 --> 01:59.740 But right now, of course, we want to change this email for info at best Smart bargains.com. 01:59.740 --> 02:06.250 Then click on save and you can see here underneath the email address confirm you have access to this 02:06.250 --> 02:06.910 email. 02:06.910 --> 02:11.260 In other words, Shopify wants to make sure that you really are the owner of this email. 02:11.260 --> 02:16.330 And in order to do that, it's going to send a verification email and we can check to see if it's done 02:16.330 --> 02:19.270 that by simply heading back to our email account. 02:19.270 --> 02:20.380 And here it is. 02:20.380 --> 02:22.360 Verify your email address. 02:22.360 --> 02:25.000 Now if you don't get this immediately just be a bit patient. 02:25.000 --> 02:27.400 Sometimes it can take a few minutes. 02:27.730 --> 02:29.320 So let's click on this email. 02:29.320 --> 02:34.660 And now to verify the email address I just click on the verify email button ether. 02:34.870 --> 02:35.620 And that's it. 02:35.620 --> 02:38.470 My new email address has now been verified. 02:38.470 --> 02:40.240 So that's email setup. 02:40.240 --> 02:42.910 But there still are a couple of things to do. 02:42.940 --> 02:46.360 The first one being that we need to authenticate the domain. 02:46.360 --> 02:49.910 And the other one is we need to add a dMarc record. 02:49.940 --> 02:56.210 Now I am going to show you how to do this just for completeness, but if you're with Tmdb hosting, 02:56.210 --> 02:59.150 you can definitely ask them to do this for you. 02:59.180 --> 02:59.450 Okay. 02:59.480 --> 03:03.170 So if you feel like it's a bit too much, a bit too overwhelming, ask Htmd. 03:03.350 --> 03:07.850 Otherwise, just follow along with me and we'll start by authenticating the domain. 03:07.850 --> 03:13.700 So I'll click over here on authenticate your domain and it brings up a bunch of instructions. 03:13.700 --> 03:19.310 And basically these instructions involve creating for new CNAME records. 03:19.340 --> 03:27.410 And to make that happen I go back to my cPanel and then scroll down and once again visit the zone editor 03:27.410 --> 03:30.260 and then click here where it says add CNAME record. 03:30.260 --> 03:35.900 So clicking on this button, I need to put in a name and a key name, and I can get that information 03:35.900 --> 03:37.670 back over on the instructions. 03:37.670 --> 03:45.060 So starting with record number one and focusing on the hostname I want to click on copy then head back 03:45.060 --> 03:49.080 to the zone editor and in the name here, paste in that value. 03:49.110 --> 03:51.210 Put a dot and then your domain. 03:51.210 --> 03:54.600 Then for the value you want to come down to the value. 03:54.630 --> 03:56.280 Click copy next to it. 03:56.310 --> 04:01.110 Go back to the zone editor and in here paste in that value. 04:01.110 --> 04:07.320 And with all that done click on add a CNAME record and then we'll repeat the process for the second 04:07.320 --> 04:07.560 one. 04:07.560 --> 04:09.720 So click on add CNAME record. 04:09.750 --> 04:11.700 Head back to the instructions. 04:11.700 --> 04:14.550 Scroll down now to record number two. 04:14.580 --> 04:17.580 Copy the host name back to the zone editor. 04:17.580 --> 04:21.630 Paste in the name followed by a dot and then your domain name. 04:21.630 --> 04:29.880 And then for the value I copy the value, head back and paste it in and click once again on add a key 04:29.910 --> 04:30.300 name. 04:30.300 --> 04:32.070 So I hope now you get the idea. 04:32.070 --> 04:36.720 There are still of course two records left, but I don't think you need to watch me do that, so I'll 04:36.720 --> 04:38.640 see you in a moment once I'm done. 04:38.670 --> 04:39.330 Okay. 04:39.330 --> 04:39.900 I'm back. 04:39.900 --> 04:44.250 I've added in those other two values and if I click on manage you'll be able to see them. 04:44.250 --> 04:51.390 So if I click on See Name up here and scroll down, these are the four records that I've now added, 04:51.690 --> 04:56.670 which means I can now go back to Shopify and do the final step, which as you can see down here, is 04:56.670 --> 05:00.390 to click Authenticate domain on this page to complete setup. 05:00.390 --> 05:02.880 So I click on the authenticate domain button. 05:03.660 --> 05:07.830 And you can now see that it says domain authentication for this email is pending. 05:07.830 --> 05:09.960 This can take up to 24 hours. 05:09.960 --> 05:12.300 Now typically it's much faster than that. 05:12.300 --> 05:17.430 But I will come back to this page once this is complete so that you can see the whole process. 05:18.000 --> 05:19.350 Okay, I'm back. 05:19.350 --> 05:23.400 And you can now see that the domain has been successfully authenticated. 05:23.940 --> 05:28.890 And so now just to complete the process, let me show you how to add a dMarc record. 05:28.890 --> 05:35.100 And just to remind you, if you are overwhelmed or confused in any way, just ask TMD hosting to do 05:35.100 --> 05:36.070 this for you. 05:36.070 --> 05:39.250 But if you do want to do it yourself, let me show you how it's done. 05:39.250 --> 05:43.660 So of course, the first thing we need to do is to click on this link to get some instructions. 05:44.110 --> 05:49.990 And you can see here it says login to the management console of your domain host and then locate the 05:49.990 --> 05:52.390 page where you update DNS records. 05:52.390 --> 05:59.110 And that means we need to go back to our cPanel, scroll down and go back to the zone editor and then 05:59.110 --> 06:00.280 on manage. 06:00.280 --> 06:06.040 Come over then to this Add Record button and click on the little down arrow on the right hand side and 06:06.040 --> 06:08.650 select add txt record. 06:08.680 --> 06:14.560 Now what we need is the name and the record itself, and we can find that back in the instructions. 06:14.560 --> 06:18.850 So heading back to the instructions it says here add a txt record. 06:18.850 --> 06:20.410 Well that's exactly what we're doing. 06:20.410 --> 06:21.970 And then it gives us some values. 06:21.970 --> 06:26.920 So in the record name DNS hostname field we need to add in this. 06:26.920 --> 06:29.140 So I'm going to actually copy this. 06:29.140 --> 06:36.380 Then go back to the zone editor and in this name field, paste it in and then for the record value going 06:36.380 --> 06:42.260 back to the instructions once again you can see here the text record value is this. 06:42.260 --> 06:49.610 So I will take this copy it, head back to the zone editor and paste that in as well. 06:49.610 --> 06:52.490 And then click on Save Record. 06:52.760 --> 06:53.450 And that's that. 06:53.450 --> 06:55.940 You've now added a dMarc record. 06:55.940 --> 06:59.330 And then just to finish off let's go back to Shopify Admin. 06:59.330 --> 07:02.750 And this message that we saw before is going to stay okay. 07:02.780 --> 07:03.710 So don't worry. 07:03.710 --> 07:10.190 Just know that you have added a dMarc record and you've now completed everything that you need to do. 07:10.220 --> 07:15.200 So if you went through all that with me, then super congratulations, because you've now set up your 07:15.200 --> 07:21.050 email and your domain in a very professional manner, and you will never need to do that again. 07:21.050 --> 07:23.120 Okay, that's enough technical stuff. 07:23.120 --> 07:25.280 Let's get back to building this business. 07:25.280 --> 07:28.160 Let's get back to building a fantastic store.
