Authenticate email domain

Hello, may I ask if when I add CName and Dmarc record for authenticating email domain, does my shopify website will in maintenance mode? or still operating as normal?

Hi,

If you are only changing the CNAME and DMARC records for the purpose of sending emails from your own email domain and you aren’t adjusting your base domain configurations, then your shop should still work without any issues. I believe that Shopify won’t put it in maintenance mode just because you added the records to validate your email domain.

But overall, editing DNS configurations shouldn’t be taken lightly, as misconfiguring those can make your website inaccessible. If you aren’t sure what you should edit in your DNS configuration, it might be best to seek help from an expert.
