Your domain name will be added in the account as alias domain and you will be able to send and receive email from alias (your domain). Adding your domain name as secondary (Since January 2020) or as primary not possible in legacy/standard accounts since December 2019.
These legacy accounts come with their own domain as default, which is called primary domain name and it can’t be removed or changed, it will remain with the account forever, the ownership of the primary domain name will be transferred to you. Suppose primary domain name of the account is primarydomain.com.
Your domain name will be added as alias, suppose your domain name is yourdomain.com. To create user like john@yourdomain.com you will create john@primarydomain.com and login using john@primarydomain.com at every service including Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, YouTube, Calendar, Photos and sharing files or anything.
You can’t login using you@yourdomain.com, login would have to be through primary domain name. This primary domain name is a random domain name owned by us and we will transfer it to you.
But when you want to send email, you will login to Gmail using john@primarydomain.com and send email, your sender will be john@yourdomain.com instead of john@primarydomain.com. See this:
You will receive emails on john@yourdomain.com and reply address will also be from john@yourdomain.com.
