Solving Shopify’s Authenticate and Add a DMARC Record Tutorial

[@taylorhill6751]

Seriously THANK YOU!!! Shopify help center instructions are always lacking little details needed to properly implement new requirements.

[@onescales]

Your welcome! These videos are for you. Happy to know they help

[@Bschafer1000]

This guy is great! I was baffled when I received Shopify's dmarc email. This guy really explained what's going on and what I need to do in language I could understand. Thanks so much!

[@onescales]

Thanks a million, super clear and easy to follow.

Hey Ori, great video, but you're missing out that DMARC is not just a DNS value. DMARC is a process where you start monitoring, process reports, fix SPF and DKIM for all the email sources, and must upgrade to a reject policy. Otherwise, scammers will contribute to a spam score.

[@onescales]

Very good point. It’s an ongoing process. We’ve made another video about it and hope to make another about follow ups and maintenance

[@JoonasNummela]

Really good video, well explained! My dmarc works!

[@onescales]

Happy to hear it works! And appreciate the comment :)

[@TheJussihokkanen]

Hi. Thank you for this. What is not clear is if this needs to be done even when not using Gmail or Yahoo as my email host... For example, I use my domain host's own email system.

[@onescales]

Yes you need to do this only for your domain host email.

[@theowan]

Thanks for the info, being troubled by dmarc at the moment

[@onescales]

your welcome my brother

[@baremotion]

Very clear instructions - Thank you!

Thanks

[@AnarchyAmsterdam]

Awesome video, thanks!

[@onescales]

Glad you liked it!

[@runguitargirl]

Thank you!! Does this include Outlook and Exchange or is this just for Gmail and Yahoo? I am confused about that.

[@onescales]

Your welcome. This includes all email providers but you will need to follow steps from your email provider for spf and dkim records for your provider. Let me know if you have any particular questions . Happy to answer

[@georgecorbo4855]

Thanks for the video. It turns out Shopify sent the email but our setup was already done...

[@onescales]

Nice. Your team is ahead of everybody

[@Justin-OSP]

Do you know if the CNAME files shown at 3:10 are the same for all stores? I have reason to believe that the CNAME files have been lost from my DNS settings after a domain transfer. However, Shopify sees my domain as already authenticated, so I am unable to find these file instructions in my own Shopify admin page. If they are the same, I may just copy them from this video.

[@onescales]

@@Justin-OSP I believe they are different for each store. Try to run the setup again or contact Shopify support. Better to fix this asap

[@studiokoekie]

thank you very much for this!

[@onescales]

Your welcome. We create videos for you

[@leroyb1615]

Great video. How do you stop getting emails reports a few times a day now?

[@onescales]

you can't . this is what dmarc is supp[osed to do. the best way is to have your inbox automatically move them into another folder so you dont see them. and then use a 3rd party tool to manage the data easier via tables and graphs instead of checking one email at a time . i am working on a video to show this but dont have an estimated date yet

[@Last222]

Bro! Ty man!💯🙏🏿

[@onescales]

Your welcome my brother

[@swimsecure]

I have done everything you have said and this comes up in Value: * Value of TXT record should be taken in quotes and contain at least one latin letter or number. For example 'value=value of TXT record'. - what am I doing wrong?

[@onescales]

Can you share in the comments the exact values you used?

[@MY-ns8rl]

How about SPF and DKIM records? Do we need to add these records before setting up DMARC?

[@onescales]

Yes you need to add them as well. Before is better

[@jamalmeeran8587]

[@jassminhalawi4491]

Wait do i need mailer lite to authenticate my domain? I have a Squarespace domain that I transferred to my shopify but I don't use mailer lite so how?

[@onescales]

if you dont use mailer lite then you do not need. you just need to authenticate for your domain and any systems that send on your behalf

[@AngieRomeo27]

Thank you so much!

[@onescales]

Your welcome!

[@officialj7401]

I’m from the uk what website would you recommend I use ?

[@onescales]

The same as in the video . Do you have any concern?

[@investindocomestrategia]

great!

[@onescales]

:)

[@edmelikhayev1165]

Hi, Can you also do the authentication of the mail in shopify itself? I believe I bought my email domain through shopify itself.

[@onescales]

Yes you can. If you bought the domain via Shopify domains , you can go to settings - domains and edit the dns to follow the same exact steps as in the video

[@neil8496]

I have two email addresses to my business do you know if I should add both to my dmarc records? There seems to be conflicting ideas out there saying it is possible but they can cause problems adding more thean one.

[@onescales]

Dmarc is related to a domain name not email addresses. So as long as both your emails are from the same domain you just need to do it once

[@candlebrandmastery]

Hey man, we followed the steps - shows successfully authenticated but the DMARC record finder is still showing this "We were unable to find a DMARC record. As a result, this domain is not protected against abuse and likely does not meet the new Google and Yahoo sender requirements."... any ideas?

[@onescales]

Can you share the exact value you put in your dmarc or the domain name ?

[@ms.ssangster7094]

You did the best in explaining it. But, im still lost. Do you know of anybody that can do it for us. Im just not that technical. Lol!!!

[@onescales]

Thanks. I recommend to check out storetasker . It’s a place you can find a Shopify developer for good pricing and also good devs. I have used them in the past and I’m pretty happy with

It worked for me, but i couldnt do it with p=none They made me choose quarantine for some reason it was invalid when i chekced on DMARC inspector

[@onescales]

Happy it worked. None parameter should work . Did you check the spelling and the exact error?

[@mal6551]

Missed the authentication date and unable to send emails to my customers from my domain name. Is there another way to fix this issue? Thanks

[@onescales]

Don’t worry about the date. Just follow the steps and setup dmarc and all that is needed and you should be fine

[@mal6551]

@@onescales I’ll give it a go and tell you. Thanks much

[@shiretsu]

anyone know if not having done this would affect staff's order notifications? it doesn't seem like it would, plus 2/3 of the accounts have been receiving them, but here we are. guess I'll comment back for posterity in

[@onescales]

For the few minutes it takes to implement why take a chance ?

[@shiretsu]

I certainly wasn't taking any chances! it turned out that yep it got the emails to go through again. wanted to understand the why behind it a little better
