What is SMTP
You can leverage the power of email marketing to grow your sales by linking your SMTP email service with Dukaan. This is useful mainly for two use-cases:
- To send order updates to your buyers
- To send marketing emails to drive repeat orders.
PS: Presently, all order-related communication to your customers is sent via [email protected].
Once your SMTP configuration is successful, your customers will receive emails from your own email ID instead of [email protected] (for example, [email protected]).
