## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability spf-authorizes-shopify-checker-9487726f
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the SPF record for mybrand.com authorizes Shopify to send email on its behalf — I want to know if Shopify is properly included and what the full SPF record looks like.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to verify Shopify email authorization in a domain's SPF record. It is purpose-built for the Shopify vendor and returns the exact matching mechanism, making it faster and more precise than a generic SPF parser when the question is specifically 'is Shopify authorized?' It is ideal for pre-launch e-commerce email audits, automated compliance checks in Shopify onboarding pipelines, or fraud detection workflows flagging spoofed Shopify senders.

## Known failure modes

- Domain has no SPF TXT record — returns no authorization with empty record
- Domain does not exist or DNS lookup fails — returns an error
- SPF record exists but contains no Shopify-related mechanisms — returns no with full record
- Rate limiting or upstream DoH unavailability causes lookup failure
- Malformed SPF record that cannot be parsed returns an error or uncertain result

## How this service works

Does the domain's SPF record authorise shopify to send its mail? Reads the SPF TXT record (Cloudflare DoH) and checks for shopify's include/ip mechanisms, returning yes/no, the matching mechanism and the full record. Confirms a vendor integration is wired for deliverability, or spots an unexpected sender. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no indicating whether Shopify is authorized to send mail for the domain, the specific SPF mechanism that matched (e.g. include:shops.shopify.com), and the complete SPF TXT record retrieved via Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS.
