Preparing Your Magento 2 Store to Send AMP Emails

Before we proceed with testing AMP Emails in development mode, we must ensure that the following steps are completed:

1. AMP Email Extension for Magento 2 is installed & enabled successfully. See the Installation instructions for more info.
2. Plumrocket SMTP extension for Magento 2 must be enabled and configured to allow sending AMP Emails from Magento store. The SMTP plugin is provided for free with each purchase of Plumrocket AMP Email extension. Please note that you will not be able to send AMP Emails without Plumrocket SMTP Plugin or supported third-party SMTP plugins. Click here to see a full list of supported SMTP Extensions.
