Set up SMTP email

• Email notifications will be sent from our email server ([email protected]) to your admin email addresses by default. For example: after an affiliate registers, the email is sent from [email protected] to [email protected] to let him know that his account is created.

• The email notification will be sent from your own SMTP email address to affilaite email address ([email protected]) if SMTP is set up in the app.

Here are all of the essential steps required to set up SMTP email:

1. Open the app > click Email Notifications tab

2. Select a tab in any tabs: Merchant, Affiliates, Referrals > select Your own SMTP in Provider

3. Enter the information to set up SMTP: SMTP server, Port, Encryption, Username / Email address, Password. This information is from your own SMTP account.

4. Click save

Then you can submit the register form for affiliate to test if the SMTP config is correct and working.
