About

Mailgun.com - The leading email delivery service for businesses around the world, with powerful APIs that enable you to send, receive, and track email effortlessly. Send bulk email effortlessly with Mailgun Email API. Regardless of your business case, Mailgun Email API empowers senders like you to build with the most powerful and reliable email service provider in the industry.

Mailgun integration will allow for a higher SPAM threshold in regard to email campaigns than does the default UltraCart Communications email delivery platform. Mailgun is a recommended alternative if you find the SPAM threshold too strict for your needs.

Proper account warm up is still important!

You can't just setup a Mailgun account and blast out a massive campaign to a legacy email list. You've got to warm up email sending systems so they your account has a decent reputation before you scale up. There is an art to this. If you need assistance in the process, we recommend hireing a marketing professional to assist you. UltraCart strongly recommends hiring ScaleLean.com as a consultant to assist with the setup, as they have a lot of experience in proper email and SMS marketing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: We are running into issues with the strict 1% SPAM threshold, so we are setting up the Storefront Communications to use mailgun as the email service. How does that affect my Storefront Communications plan?
Answer: Configuring mailgun as the email service will eliminate the strict 1% SPAM threshold (you are responsible for maintaining the reputation for your domain!), however the Communications plan you had prior to the switch to mailgun would still apply, since the Storefront Communications is still handling all the logic for managing the customers.
