Sender Integrations: Native, Zapier, and API

Last verified Aug 27, 2026

Sender.net publishes a short partner list: 11 direct integrations on its own Integrations Overview, weighted almost entirely towards ecommerce and WordPress. Reach beyond that comes from the official Zapier app, which Zapier describes as connecting Sender to roughly 9,000 other apps through 7 triggers and 7 actions. Everything past those two surfaces is code: the v2 REST API with 11 resource families, account webhooks on paid plans, and a first-party MCP server exposing roughly 40 tools. If your stack is Shopify, WooCommerce or WordPress the native path covers you; anything else means Zapier or the API.

That catalogue is narrower than Brevo or MailerLite and closer in shape to EmailOctopus or Moosend: a small maintained core plus a broad automation bridge. Fewer connectors, but the ones that exist are first-party, and the free plan carries full API and SMTP access rather than gating integrations behind an upgrade.

The native list is short but genuinely first-party: the Shopify app, the WordPress plugin and the PrestaShop module all live in Sender’s own GitHub organisation. The number that constrains most integration plans is not the connector count but the webhook cap-1 on Free, 5 on Standard, unlimited from Professional up.

Integrations directory

The 25 entries below cover what Sender documents directly, plus the most-used connections from its Zapier app. Native entries come from the Integrations Overview; Zapier entries from the Sender listing on Zapier. Sender keeps no page per partner, only 2 slugs resolve on sender.net, Shopify and WooCommerce, so other native links point at the overview article, not a guessed URL.

Integration gotchas

Nothing sends until SPF, DKIM and DMARC are green

Every integration ending in an outbound email inherits Sender’s domain gate. Account settings › Domains must show three green checks. SPF containing include:sendersrv.com, a CNAME on sender._domainkey pointing at dkim.sendersrv.com, and a _dmarc TXT record, and the From address must sit on that verified domain. Requiring DMARC at verification time is stricter than most competitors, and it catches teams who wired a Zap in five minutes then wondered why nothing arrived. Free mailbox domains cannot be used at all.

Two credential systems, and they are not interchangeable

Plugins that speak SMTP need a generated SMTP username and its one-time password from Transactional emails › Setup instructions › SMTP. Anything hitting api.sender.net needs a Bearer token from Account settings › API access tokens. Pasting an API token into a WordPress SMTP plugin fails every time, a frequent stumble for people arriving from providers that use the literal string apikey as the username.

MCP can draft, but it cannot send transactional mail

The first-party server covers roughly 40 tools across subscribers, segments, campaigns, workflows and images, and it is safe by construction: campaigns stay drafts, workflows stay inactive until an explicit activation call, destructive actions need an acknowledgment flag. There is no transactional send tool, that still goes through the REST API or the SMTP relay.

Frequently asked questions

Does Sender.net integrate with Shopify?

Yes, through an official app that Sender builds and maintains. It syncs customers, orders and product data, which is what makes abandoned-cart and post-purchase automations possible, and it ships a theme app extension so on-store popups render without editing Liquid. Shopify is one of only 2 partners with a dedicated page on sender.net, and the March 2026 product update upgraded the Shopify API integration.

How do I connect Sender.net to WooCommerce?

Install Sender’s WordPress plugin, connect it to your account and enable the WooCommerce sync so customers and order events flow in. The WooCommerce connector and the general forms plugin are the same plugin doing two jobs. Verify your sending domain before testing a live automation: the sync populates subscribers happily while the emails themselves fail on an unverified domain.

Does Sender.net work with Zapier, and what can it do?

Yes. The official app connects to roughly 9,000 apps with 7 triggers and 7 actions: creating and updating subscribers, group membership, unsubscribes, and sending campaigns or transactional campaigns. It does not cover segment creation or workflow editing, which need the REST API or the MCP server.

Is there an official Sender.net WordPress plugin?

Yes, first-party rather than a community port. It embeds signup forms and popups, syncs subscribers, and handles the WooCommerce data sync. For sending WordPress system mail through Sender you do not use it at all, point WP Mail SMTP at smtp.sender.net on port 587 with STARTTLS, using a generated SMTP user rather than your API token.

How do I sync Google Sheets or a form builder with Sender.net?

Through Zapier in every case: Google Sheets, Typeform, Jotform, Gravity Forms and WPForms all connect via the official app rather than a native connector. Two WordPress-side exceptions are worth knowing. Ottokit and Zotabox are listed as direct integrations, so if your forms live on WordPress you may be able to skip the Zapier task cost entirely.

How do I migrate from Mailchimp to Sender.net?

Export your audience as CSV, import it into Sender groups and rebuild automations by hand, there is no one-click importer. The Zapier Mailchimp connection works as a bridge during the switchover, mirroring new audience additions into a Sender group so you do not lose signups mid-migration. Rebuild the DNS side too: unlike Mailchimp, Sender requires a DMARC record before it will verify the domain at all. Compare against MailerLite and EmailOctopus if connector breadth matters more than price.
