Integrate SMTP by Connect with Ecwid

SMTP by Connect

SMTP by Connect is an email delivery platform that uses SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocp. to send emails. It is designed to be used with an existing email service provider such as Google Mail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, and more. If you’re not sure what the difference between a “Mail Transfer Agent” and an “Email Service Provider” is, there’s a helpful sidebar on the site that explains it. Basically, SMTP by Connect allows your customers to set up an email address with your store, and then use that email address for their purchase orders, shipping notifications, or other emails they’d like to receive from your store.
