AWS SES SMTP Plugin
Order emails and enquiries that arrive — delivered through Amazon SES.
The problem
WordPress sends mail through your web host by default, and web hosts are terrible at email — enquiries and order confirmations quietly land in spam.
What it does
Routes every email your site sends through Amazon SES with proper SPF/DKIM alignment, plus a delivery log so you can see exactly what was sent, to whom, and whether it arrived.
What it does
Direct SES API sending
Routes everything wp_mail() sends — WooCommerce emails, password resets, form notifications — through the Amazon SES v2 API. No SMTP, no SDK dependency.
Encrypted credentials
Access keys are stored encrypted at rest using your WordPress salts, or kept out of the database entirely via wp-config constants.
Delivery log and failure alerts
Optional searchable email log with automatic retention purge, plus a dashboard alert showing the exact AWS error whenever a send fails.
Safe to set up
Built-in test email sender with clear feedback, and graceful fallback to default WordPress mail until keys are configured.
Why not just use the free one?
Free SMTP plugins stop at "connected". This one is opinionated about deliverability: it validates your DNS records, logs every send, and alerts us on failures — because an enquiry that doesn't arrive is revenue lost.
