How to Add a Sending Domain in Mailchimp

Updated over a week ago

After creating your Transactional API key, the next step is to set up your sending domain. This tells Mailchimp which domain your transactional emails will be sent from, and it’s required before you can configure authentication with DKIM and DMARC.


Step 1: Go to Domain Settings

  1. Log in to your Mailchimp Transactional dashboard.

  2. From the menu, click Settings.

  3. Select Domains.


Step 2: Add Your Domain

  1. In the Add a Domain field, type the domain you want to use for sending (for example, mystore.com).

  2. Click Add.


Step 3: Add DKIM and DMARC

Once your domain is added, you’ll need to set up DKIM and DMARC records to complete the authentication process. This ensures your emails are trusted by inbox providers and reach your customers’ inboxes instead of spam.
