Integrating SendGrid To Send Transactional Email Notifications
Written By Stefan S.

PayKickstart allows vendors to integrate transactional email notifications with SendGrid to use their own email services and deliver notifications via their own domains.
To integrate with SendGrid to deliver transactional email notifications, please follow the steps below:
Important to Note
PayKickstart cannot guarantee the deliverability of all email notifications outside of our email servers. Vendors would need to monitor email delivery via their email host.
Due to the complexity of the various SMTP platforms on the web PayKickstart is only able to offer minimal support with 3rd party SMTP connections. If integration connection issues occur, it is best to contact your Email host provider.
Once enabled and saved on the campaign level, you are now integrated to send transaction emails via SendGrid for the selected campaign.
You can connect SMTP integrations with all campaigns you want to use SMTP services for delivering your transactional emails.
You can also select the SMTP service to be used for sending out emails related to your Embeddable Customer Billing Portal.
Maximizing the deliverability of your emails (Optional)
To maximize your delivery rate of your email notifications, we strongly recommend you set up Domain, SPF & DKIM verification. Below are some useful resources to help you with this:
