Troubleshooting Email Sender Name Changes in Square Marketing
If you’ve recently encountered an unexpected change in the sender name of your Square marketing emails, you’re not alone. Imagine the surprise when an email from your campaign is attributed to a mysterious “BLACK FRIDAY SALE,” even though you haven’t altered any settings.
The Issue
Recently, while crafting an email campaign via Square, everything seemed perfectly set up. The subject line was meticulously chosen, and there were no promotional codes involved. However, upon dispatch, the email displayed a sender name that was never intended or input by my team.
Seeking Support
Reaching out to customer service for clarification, I was informed that this anomaly might stem from the campaign’s title or associated coupon. It’s perplexing to consider, given there was no coupon involved, and the subject line clearly matched the campaign’s intended messaging. Unfortunately, support for marketing queries isn’t available over the weekend, leaving us temporarily in the dark.

One Comment
Great post highlighting this common yet perplexing issue! From my experience, such unexpected sender name changes in Square Marketing can sometimes be related to integrated settings or updates within Square’s platform that automatically assign or modify branding details. One thing worth checking is whether your account’s default sender information has been updated or overridden during recent system updates—sometimes these changes occur behind the scenes and aren’t immediately obvious.
Additionally, reviewing your campaign and template settings for any hidden variables or defaults associated with campaign titles or content that might influence the sender display could shed some light. It’s also worth exploring if your email domain or SPF/DKIM records have recently been altered, as email authentication issues can sometimes lead to automatic modifications of sender info for compliance reasons.
While waiting for Square support to get back to you, consider testing with a new, clean campaign to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is campaign-specific or system-wide. Lastly, keeping an eye on platform updates or community forums may uncover recent similar reports—sometimes these quirks are due to ongoing bugs that get addressed in future patches.
Thanks for raising this important topic—clear sender branding is key to maintaining trust and professionalism with your audience!
