Supports SPF alignment: Yes (dedicated subdomain)
Supports DKIM alignment: Yes
DMARC requires the domain in the “From” address of the email (what the recipient sees) to match the information authenticated by SPF or DKIM. This is called DMARC alignment.
Certain email service providers require bulk email-sending domains to authenticate their emails with both SPF and DKIM, in addition to configuring one of these authentication methods for DMARC alignment. You can read more about these bulk sender requirements here.
Configure email authentication for Shift4Shop

Once you're on the Modules page, use the search bar at the top to search for "DKIM" and bring up the module.
Place a mark in the "Enable" checkbox and click "Save" at the top right of the screen.
