Editing Authenticate and purchase domains in Advanced Settings (section)

== Step-by-step instructions ==
To authenticate and purchase domains, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. **Log in** to your ActiveCampaign account.
2. In the dashboard, locate the settings gear icon, usually found at the bottom left corner, and click on it.
3. From the menu, select '''Settings''' and then navigate to '''Advanced Settings'''.
4. In the '''Advanced Settings''' section, you will find options for domain management.
5. To authenticate an existing domain, look for the '''Authenticate domain''' button and click on it.
6. For those needing to purchase a new domain, find the option to '''Purchase a new domain''' and follow the on-screen prompts that will direct you to a checkout process integrated with Ionos, a preferred DNS provider.
7. Once the domain is purchased, it will be authenticated automatically through ActiveCampaign.

Completing these steps ensures that your domain is set up properly for email sending, compliant with Google's and Yahoo's requirements.
