Get Your SMTP/Email Service

Follow your email provider’s documentation to configure your domain with their service and get your SMTP credentials. Alternatively, you can check the respective delivery connection documentation to understand how to get your SMTP credentials.

Don’t have an SMTP/Email Service Provider?

While it’s possible to send emails from WordPress with your regular hosting service, we recommend getting a dedicated SMTP/email service because it helps maximize your email deliverability. Not sure which service to choose?

Configure SMTP/Email Service

Configuring your SMTP/Email service is relatively easy. Simply copy-paste your SMTP credentials inside the FluentSMTP setup wizard and save your settings. FluentSMTP stores the API key in the DB to avoid any security issues in case of a security breach.

Moving Settings from Another SMTP?

If you’re switching your settings from another SMTP plugin like WP Mail SMTP or Easy WP SMTP, you may get a prompt to move your settings. In that case, all you have to do is click the button!
