Attention Shift4Shop Merchants
We will be discontinuing the legacy Smartermail service (used for email hosting), on April 1st, 2022.
After careful consideration, we have determined that the SmarterMail service we provide is no longer able to keep up with the demands of an ecommerce business' email needs. Instead, we feel it is far better for online store owners to have their business emails handled separately, by a company that specializes in that type of service. For example, Office 365 or Gmail for Business.

We've created this KB article to assist you in the setup process. We also recommend reviewing whatever documentation your chosen 3rd party email host has on hand to further assist you in the process.
Additionally, please note that this change will only affect you if the following two factors apply to your Shift4Shop account:
