WP & SMTP

Integrating WordPress with SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is crucial to ensure that emails sent from your website, such as contact form submissions, order confirmations, and notifications, are reliably delivered to recipients. Using an SMTP server instead of the default PHP mail function can significantly improve email deliverability and reduce the chances of your emails being marked as spam or not reaching the inbox at all.

This integration involves configuring your WordPress site to use an external SMTP server, such as Gmail, SendGrid, or any other email provider, to handle outgoing emails. The setup typically includes entering SMTP server details into your WordPress SMTP plugin settings, such as the server address, port number, and authentication credentials.

With WordPress and SMTP integration, you gain greater control over your email-sending process, ensuring your communications are secure, authenticated, and more likely to be delivered successfully. This is particularly important for businesses that rely on timely and reliable email communication with customers, such as order notifications, password resets, and marketing emails.

By setting up SMTP on your WordPress site, you enhance the reliability of your email system, maintain better control over your communications, and ensure that your emails reach your audience as intended.
