MX Records Not Updating

Hi, I recently transferred my domain to Square. I already have Google Workspace, and there is no option to link an existing Google Workspace account, only set up a new one. So after some Googling, it seems I need to update my mx records. I tried to update them as directed by Google to:

 

SMTP.GOOGLE.COM.

 

and/or;

 

Name/Host/Alias* Priority Value/Answer/Destination

Blank or @1ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @5ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @5ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @10ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
Blank or @10ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

 

I even added the period after .com 

 

Only every time I try to save, it doesn't tell me failed or anything. I wait the 72 hours like it told me to and no avail. Maybe because Google just tells you what to put in the priority and host boxes, not the points to? I don't know. My existing email address is slapchop@scskateshop.com I am hoping to get it working again as quickly as possible. Thank you for any help you can give!

Hey there @SlapChop.  First, here is a link to the Square help documentation for setting up Google Workspace email with your Square website.  As you’ll see in the screenshot below, the “points to” field in your DNS must be your Google verification meta tag.  I hope that document helps you complete your task.  Just remember that after you’ve done all of this and it “sticks,” it could take up to 24 hours before the new information is propagated to servers and you start receiving emails.
