## Installation
Packagento is licence-gated, so even free packages need a licence on a project before Composer can resolve them.
1. **Sign in or create an account** at https://packagento.com/customer/account/.
2. **Add the package to your account.** Open https://packagento.com/magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp and complete the free checkout. A licence is minted automatically.
3. **Create or pick a project, then activate the licence on it.**
- Projects represent the Magento installs you deploy to. Manage them at https://packagento.com/projects/.
- Activate the new licence on the project you'll deploy this package to. Activation is what generates the Composer credentials scoped to that project.
4. **Add the project credentials to your Magento codebase.**
Grab the project's public + private key from https://packagento.com/projects/ (open the project, then its Credentials tab), and add them to `auth.json`:
```json
{
"http-basic": {
"packagento.com": {
"username": "ppk_live_...",
"password": "psk_live_..."
}
}
}
```
Add the Packagento Composer repository to `composer.json`:
```json
{
"repositories": [
{ "type": "composer", "url": "https://packagento.com" }
]
}
```
5. **Install and apply.**
```bash
composer require magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp:*
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
bin/magento cache:flush
```

Configure Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce to send all transactional emails using Google App, Gmail, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), Microsoft Office365 or any other SMTP servers.
Sending transactional emails to customers is a vital part of running an e-commerce store. Our free custom Magento extension integrates with all major email service providers and third-party SMTP servers to reliably deliver messages to customers' inboxes.
##### What is SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
SMTP or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol allows you to send emails from your Magento 2 store through a specific third-party mail SMTP server. For example, if you want to use your Gmail, Amazon, Microsoft or any other mail server account to send email from your Magento web store, all you need is to configure that mail server setting in our extension in Magento without having to do any complex server configuration.
##### Why use a Custom SMTP Server with Magento
By default, most hosting companies' mail servers are configured to send email from unauthorized senders which prevents emails from reliable delivered to recipients. Therefore, most Magento store owners struggle to limit the number of transactional emails that end up in clients' junk mail. Take full control of your email sending settings in Magento 2 and reduce sending emails to your valuable customers' junk mail folder. Emails are delivered instantaneously to their intended recipients without delays or get trap in the spam folder.
Out of the box, Magento 2 doesn't provide the ability to specify your custom SMTP settings for outgoing emails using an external SMTP server. Using this extension bridges the gap and allows your Magento store to connect to your preferred email provider securely and easily.
All you need is either an (i) free Gmail account, (ii) paid Google Apps account or any other SMTP service (i.e Amazon Simple Email Service / Amazon SES, Microsoft Office365).

> ### NOTE - Gmail / Google Account
>To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
>Please note this deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.
>For more information, please continue reading.
>Special Note on Apple Device Sign-Ins. Users who have not recently signed into their Google Account using only username and password will be able to only make new sign in attempts using the Google account type starting from February 28, 2022. Existing users may continue to sign into their Google Account using their username and password until May 30, 2022.
#### Benefits of using Gmail SMTP
Since Google's, Gmail and G Suite SMTP server does not use Port 25, you'll reduce the probability that an ISP might block your email or flag it as SPAM. Also, all your emails sent from Magento will be searchable and backed-up in your email account on Google's servers.

## Dependencies
### Require
| Package | Constraint |
|---|---|
| magento/framework | 103.0.* |
| magento/module-backend | 102.0.* |
| magepal/magento2-core | >1.1.0 |
| php | ~8.2.0\|~8.3.0\|~8.4.0\|~8.5.0 |
| symfony/mailer | ^6.4\|^7.4 |
| symfony/mime | ^6.4\|^7.4 |
## Quality
Latest release (3.0.6) fails the Packagento QA pipeline. Verdicts below are per-cell (Magento line × PHP version) for the matrixed tools, and run-once for the static / security tiers.
### Compatibility
Each Magento line is installed on its supported PHP versions, then the module is built (DI compile + static-content deploy). Cells show passed / failed / untested; staircase gaps render as `–`.
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | Pass | Pass | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | Pass | Pass | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | Pass | Pass |
### Code Quality
Advisory checks against the module's source. Never affect the Compatibility verdict — a phpcs finding can't make a module incompatible.
#### Static Analysis
Coding standards (phpcs), mess detection (phpmd), copy-pasted code (cpd), PHP cross-version compatibility, composer.json validity. Each runs once for the whole module.
| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHPCS | Warning | 10 | 10 warnings (ruleset: Magento2) — 4 auto-fixable with phpcbf |
| PHPMD | Warning | 5 | 5 rule violations (UnusedLocalVariable:2, MissingImport:2, IfStatementAssignment:1) |
| Cpd | Pass | 0 | |
| Composer validate | Info | 2 | valid; 2 advisory notes (composer validate --strict) |
#### PHPStan
Type-checks the module against a real Magento install. Re-runs per Magento + PHP version because resolvable symbols differ between releases.
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | 4 | 4 | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | 4 | 4 | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | 4 | 4 |
### Tests
Unit and integration suites run per Magento + PHP cell. Test failures speak to the module's behaviour, not its compatibility with a line, so they're reported here separately.
#### Unit Tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |
#### Integration Tests
| Magento | PHP 8.2 | PHP 8.3 | PHP 8.4 | PHP 8.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2.4.7 | N/A | N/A | – | – |
| 2.4.8 | – | N/A | N/A | – |
| 2.4.9 | – | – | N/A | N/A |
### Security
Dependency-advisory audit (composer audit) plus a source malware scan. A malware detection fails the version outright.
| Tool | Status | Findings | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composer audit | Pass | 0 | |
| Malware scan | Pass | 0 | |
