Your Loopz gift card program will email gift card recipients when they receive or transact with a gift card. These emails are sent with a "FROM" email address from the loopz.io domain ([email protected]) by default.

You can change the sender email of your gift card program on the dashboard under the settings screen. First you'll need to verify the domain from which you want to send emails. This is required to guarantee email deliverability to your customers email inboxes. After the domain is verified, you'll be able to set the sender email to any email address on the verified domain.

Sending emails from a custom domain offers several benefits:

  1. Professionalism: Using a custom domain for your email address projects a professional image and builds credibility. It shows that you are serious about your business or personal brand.

  2. Brand Recognition: A custom domain helps reinforce your brand every time you send an email. It keeps your brand at the forefront of recipients' minds and can enhance recall.

  3. Trust and Credibility: Emails from a custom domain are seen as more trustworthy and legitimate than generic addresses. This can improve the likelihood that your emails will be read and responded to.

  4. Improved Deliverability: Emails from a custom domain are less likely to be marked as spam. ISPs and email filters often treat custom domains more favorably.

  5. Control and Security: Custom domains provide you with more control over your email accounts, including the ability to set up security features like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. This helps protect your email reputation and data.

  6. Personalization: With a custom domain, you can create personalized email addresses that reflect your name, business, or other identifiers, making your communications more tailored.

  7. Consistency: A custom domain ensures consistency across your communications, including your website, business cards, and other marketing materials.

Overall, sending emails from a custom domain can enhance your professional presence and improve the impact of your communications.

Add your domain

Start by adding your domain. Click Add a Domain and enter the domain name in the popup and click Verify.

Verify your domain

Once the domain is added, you'll see some configuration that needs to be added to the DNS records of your domain. You'll need access to your domain's configuration to complete this step.

Once you add the 2 DNS records, it can take up to 48 hours to verify the configuration. You can click the Verify button for each DNS record to check if it's been verified.

Add Sender Email

Once the domain has been verified, you'll be able to add the sender email for your gift card program. Click Add Sender Email and enter the sender email address. You can also provide the "From Name" which is the name email recipients will see in their email inbox instead of the email address. It's best to set this as your business name.

Once the sender details have been configured, emails sent by your gift card program will use the sender email and name in all emails sent to your customers.
