Step 2

Verify your domain

After adding accounts for your company, you need to verify your domain.
Choose "Add a domain host record (TXT or CNAME)" method. This way you can set MX Records needed in Step 4 altogether.

Step 3

a) TXT record

Go to "My domains" section, select your domain and click on "Edit Host records".

Set the TXT Record provided by G Suite, but without the "@".
It represents the root domain (for example mydomain.com) and is not needed for "Name/Host/Alias" value while configuring domains at Pananames.

Step 4

MX Records
