Which of the following steps are necessary for Stripe to send emails from a custom domain?

• A. Verify ownership of the domain in the Stripe Dashboard
• B. Add a DNS TXT record proving domain ownership
• C. Use Stripe's default sending domain
• D. Engage Stripe to verify domain ownership in the Stripe Dashboard

Answer: (B)

Proving you own the domain through a DNS TXT record is what allows Stripe to send emails from your custom domain. Stripe provides a specific TXT value that you must add to your domain’s DNS records; this demonstrates control over the domain to email systems, enabling authenticated sending from your domain. After the TXT record is added and propagates, Stripe can verify ownership and permit sending from that domain. Other options don’t fit because using Stripe’s default sending domain means you’re not using your own domain, and there isn’t an in-dashboard or manual Stripe verification step—the verification relies on the DNS TXT record.
