Route WordPress transactional email through MailerSend

The plugin sends WordPress messages through MailerSend's dedicated SMTP server. These messages can include form submissions, account notifications, e-commerce orders and other transactional email. WordPress hosts commonly use PHP mail(), though settings vary by host. MailerSend uses its own sending infrastructure and provides a dashboard for email activity and performance.

Compare plan capacity and billing

MailerSend pay-as-you-go is intended for higher email volumes without a long-term commitment. It may fit sites with changing sending needs or organizations that prefer flexible billing. MailerSend Premium plans start at $30 per month for 50,000 emails per month, with choices for different sending volumes.

MailerSend also provides a free allowance of up to 3,000 emails per month. Paid plans are available when that capacity is not enough or a higher-volume sending arrangement is needed.

Prepare the domain and review delivery

Sending requires a MailerSend account and a verified domain. The sending infrastructure is designed to help improve inbox performance, avoid spam filters, prevent blocklisting and lower hard bounce rates. Authentication practices are intended to help protect your domain reputation.

After sending, the dashboard lets you review open, bounce and click-through rates. MailerSend can also monitor opens, clicks, open locations and devices. You can use your own subdomain and a custom tracking link to add context when reviewing recipient activity.

Connect apps and receive replies

MailerSend connects with thousands of other apps through Zapier. Webhooks provide instant push updates, and the inbound route capability lets you receive customer replies sent to your domain.

Set up SMTP in WordPress

Install the MailerSend extension and make or access a MailerSend account. Add and verify your domain, enable SMTP, then enter the resulting SMTP credentials in the plugin settings. Test the connection and send a transactional message to confirm it is working.

Support is available through contact settings or live chat in the app. A dedicated support team works 24/7.
