Gmail SMTP plugin for wordpress/woocommerce - wordpress

I am trying to make Gmail SMTP puligin work with my woocommerce/wordpress site.
I'm having this notice from Google Cloud:
Verification Status
Pending developer action
Complete all actions below. Update your email thread with our Trust and Safety team after you have completed an action. The Trust and Safety team will continue the verification process once all actions are completed. Learn more
Action Required
Comply with domain verification requirements
Ensure your application's domains have completed the Search Console verification process
Update brand information
Ensure that your app's name, logo, and OAuth clients meet all requirements
I asked about this from Google and they gave me this answer:
Thanks for your patience while we reviewed your project.
Since your app is a Gmail SMTP plug-in for Wordpress, and you or the site admin are the only users of the app, we recommend that you keep using your app with the “unverified app” screen. The Gmail API isn't for public use in this case, so you do not need to get verified.
If you are having issues activating the plugin, you can see all your support options in General Support.
Please note that Google also participates in community discussion groups and mailing lists that can help you find answers or troubleshoot problems.
We strongly recommend that you submit a question via any of the below third-party community discussion groups and/or mailing lists:

I can't use this app without Google approval. I tried to send a test email and the plugin gave me this error/answer:
Gmail SMTP plugin cannot send email until you enter your credentials in the settings and grant access to your web application.
So how can I make Gmail SMTP work with my wordpress/woocommerce site?

I think I tried everything and I asked from Google about this problem, but I'm not so sure if I understood their message correctly.

How do I use a web hook using Stripe and ARMember in Wordpress

I am working on a project with a third party website, in which I will create a membership recurrent plan, gather customer's information, store it, and charge the customer. Upon subscribing, the customer's credentials and information will be passed via an API to a third party website, where they will be able to access the service.
For the membership setup on my website, I am using ARMember, which is connected to a Stripe account. I am working with a developer for the whole API setup with the 3rd party website, but as a requirement, my developer is asking me to provide the webhooks We need a hook that can give user-object or user-signup details after the successful payment event.
Forgive me for being a newbie, as I am not a developer nor anything close to that. I have never worked with webhooks before.
In looking into ARMember's webhook documentation I found this, which I believe it is what my dev needs, arm_payment_gateway_validation_from_setup, however, there are no clear instructions on what to do with this, or how to use it. I guess they assume users seeking webhooks know exactly what to do with them, which is not my case. Please help anyone! Will be so grateful!

Getting r_fullprofile access to the Linkedin API

I am currently using a linkedin API with r_lightprofile in my application.
Two months ago, I sent a request for access to r_fullprofile using the Partner Program form.
https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/contact-us
http://prntscr.com/opfnpd
I also sent a request to the Marketing Developer Platform, but the request is still pending (http://prntscr.com/opfvfx)
After all this, I got an email with a form to fill out information about the company.
But after filling out the form, I did not receive an answer that the company is suitable or not suitable for full access.
1) How long does it usually take to get access?
2) Does the linkedin API have support? Email, Live chat or something else?
3) Have I done everything for access? Maybe I missed something?
4) Does Linkedin send an email in case of failure?
It's been a long way for me too, I'll give you some random tips:
Make sure your app is connected to a LinkedIn company page and that the status is Verified. To do this, from the app dashboard, add to the Team members an administrator of the LinkedIn company page (as Admin member) and let him access the app dashboard. He should be able to see a Verify button to confirm the authenticity of the app.
The only support that was really helpful to me was Zendesk.

Avoid login prompt for Company data with Consumer Partner?

We are trying to show the company updates done for our company on LinkedIn in the companies intranet. After visiting the developer site, we are able to create the token and pull the required information. The challenge is with the login prompt that would come up on the intranet home page. We want to avoid it.
This post mentions we need a token (that we have) and also user should be logged in to LinkedIn. So we guess it is a limitation.
However, the developer site mentions about 'partnership with Linkedin' and says if you become a consumer partner following is possible. It says you have higher functionality and thresholds.
"Create personalized and engaging user experiences for your audience by combining LinkedIn data and functionality into custom websites and mobile applications"
We tried reaching to Linked Developer Support with no response from them. Can anyone here confirm if we can Avoid login prompt for Company data with Consumer Partner?

Woocommerce won't send notification to Gmail

I've been developing an e-commerce website and it comes to the last phase of development. However, I've found one error during my test.
When I use email that has #domainname.com, the email went through but when I tried using gmail - both admin and customer emails - the notification email didn't reach gmail inbox at all.
Do you have any idea what is wrong or there should be some additional plugin that I have to install.
Any answer is appreciated.
Thank you
WooCommerce (and many times WordPress in general) can be difficult to get working with reliable email delivery. Most of the time it's because your site is on a shared host (shared IP address) and if you're hosted with other sites that are a bit spammy it can hurt you. (WordPress will use your host's SMTP server by default and your actual email service might not be hosted with them, so your MX records probably don't match the same provider / IP block).
When you add the fact that your WooCommerce emails have content that has anything to do with money (using the words "order" "shipping" "prices" etc) it raises your chances of getting caught up in a spam filter. (And yes, Gmail will many times not even deliver your email... And it won't even go into the spam folder).
I've had great success with using a third party SMTP provider. The main benefits are
You emails are relayed through their trusted network
They verify ownership of your domain (and sending domain) so that Gmail also trusts it
They many times provide reliability reports and delivery success / failure reports
I personally use Mandrill (by MailChimp). It's completely free to send up to 12K emails per month (which is usually more than enough for most small businesses). Get their WordPress plugin wpMandrill so that you can see your delivery stats right in your dashboard and so that WordPress uses the relay automatically (including WooCommerce). Your client will probably appreciate seeing that too anyway.
I've played with Mailgun and Sendgrid a bit, but I really like Mandrill. Check the others out to see if they'll be a better fit for you too.

Wordpress on a cloud, registration issue,

Hello world!
Heres my issue, Im running a site on a azure cloud network, since natively azure does not support SMTP and wordpress member registration is built around this (as well as most to all plugins) so when it comes time for members to register, it all works well up until its time they should receive their activation key through email... and they dont. If by obtaining a sendgrid account through host, parsing info from sendgrid host app to my WP sendgrid app setting, Will it the allow the delivery of "welcome" and delivery of mentioned activation keys through emails to members upon registering? Im stumped on how to fix this issue, Im quite sure this is the fix.
ALso, if this wold be the answer to my problem, where would meber info be sent... To my WP user tab or wold there be a third party involved in maintaning this database.
Thank you for yout ime,
-Erawkz
Yes, I run sendgrid for my wordpress site it replaces the WP mail function make sure you read the installation instructions carefully it requires you to modify your user.ini file
