pay-as-you-go plan

Transactional email from WordPress

Zoho ZeptoMail for WordPress connects a self-hosted WordPress website to a ZeptoMail account. It sends notifications triggered by visitor actions, such as password resets, welcome emails, and order confirmations, through the ZeptoMail API.

The plugin customizes WordPress’s PHPMailer library and handles the custom send-mail action through wp_mail. Site notifications can use the configured connection without setting it up separately at each occurrence. This setup is useful when messages sent through PHP’s wp_mail() function fail or land in spam.

Usage-based sending

The extension and service are free to get started with. The service includes 10,000 free emails on sign-up; additional credits can be bought from your account. The pay-as-you-go plan charges according to email usage. Sending is subject to the service’s Usage Policy.

Settings, logs, and test messages

Choose the hosted region where your Zoho Account data resides and set the default email format. To send HTML messages, choose HTML from the Mail format dropdown. From Name sets the display name, and From Email Address sets the outgoing sender address. The send mail token connects WordPress to a configured ZeptoMail Agent; messages use the selected Agent and its associated domain.

Set a logs limit to control how many entries are retained. When the limit is reached, older entries are deleted. Failed email logs include a retry option.

After saving the configuration, use the Test Email page in your website settings. Enter the from address, recipient address, subject, and message content, then send a test email to check the configuration.

Requirements and setup

Setup requires a ZeptoMail account, a self-hosted WordPress site, and PHP 5.6 or later. Install the plugin and pick the hosted region in its account configuration. In your ZeptoMail account, open the relevant Agent and copy an existing send mail token or generate one from the SMTP & API Info section. Return to the plugin settings to enter the token, From Email Address, and From Name, choose the default email format, set the logs limit, and save and test the configuration.
