What is Postmark?
Postmark specialises in transactional emails — the important messages your customers expect, such as order confirmations, shipping notifications, password resets and invoices. Where marketing email platforms focus on volume and campaigns, Postmark focuses on one thing: ensuring every email arrives quickly and reliably in the inbox, not in spam.
Why Postmark is useful
Transactional emails are business-critical. If a customer doesn't receive their order confirmation, they call customer service. If a password reset doesn't arrive, you may lose the customer. Postmark offers the best deliverability in the industry with average delivery times under 10 seconds.
- 99%+ deliverability: Your emails arrive, not in spam
- Lightning fast: Average delivery time under 10 seconds
- Dedicated IP: Your reputation, not shared with other senders
- Transparent: Detailed logs and delivery data
