# Resource: Sending Domains

# Type: Sending Domain Object

# Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-management/marketing/emails/sending-domains/sending-domain-object.md

## Description: A sending domain is a custom domain that's authenticated for sending emails from a Wix site. While it's possible to send emails without authentication, unauthenticated emails will either show the Wix domain to recipients or use the Wix domain as the **From** address with the Wix user's email as the **Reply-To** address. Authenticating a sending domain allows emails to use a custom domain in the **From** field, improving email deliverability and helping establish domain reputation for email campaigns and transactional emails.
