How to correctly set up SPF with Google Workspace and Shopify?

Shopify Discussion
1

(I have my DMARC and DKIM set up) I’m trying to get my SPF set up and I can’t find any answers to my question. I have Google Workspace, I have it linked up with my Shopify and my domain is through Shopify. All of that is good to go. When I go to get info from Google on how to set up the SPF, it only shows me how to set it up if I’m only sending emails from Google. When I check how to do it from Shopify’s end, it tells me to put v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all so does that mean I enter my Google Workspace email into the part that says “hostedemail.com”? Do I need to add anything else along with it for it to allow me to send emails through my Google Workspace email as well?

I THINK I need to add this but I honestly have no idea if it’s correct. Since I want to send emails through Shopify as well as Google Workspace, I would have to add v=spf1 include:_spf.MYEMAILHERE.com ~all v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all or what I found on another post v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all do I put my website into the shops.shopify.com part?

I’m so confused and any help would be much appreciated!

I have the same question, will be waiting for the answer here.

I used v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com include:shops.shopify.com ~all

and tested sending emails through Shopify and Google Workspace and both are showing up as passing DMARC, DKIM and SPF.

Thank you! Did you replace shops.shopify with your shop domain or do we leave that generic text? Appreciate you

leave the generic text, you don’t have to change anything

Thank you. I also put there the following string and all tests are passed. The first include was recommended in the Shopify help article, so I left it there.

v=spf1 include:_spf.hostedemail.com include:shops.shopify.com include:_spf.google.com ~all
