Verifying Your Store Domain for Meta in SHOPLINE

Meta (formerly Facebook) requires advertisers to verify their domains to run ads or sell products on the platform. To help merchants easily claim the ownership of their store domains in Meta, SHOPLINE develops and provides you with a quick verification solution. Learn about what is domain verification and how to complete domain verification in this article.

 

 

About Domain Verification

Completing domain verification allows you to manage the editing permissions over your links and content to help prevent misuse of your domain and ensure only trusted staff and partners represent your business.

Meta provides 3 ways to verify your domain:

  • Add a meta tag to your domain's home page.
  • Upload an HTML file to your web directory and confirm ownership of your domain in Business Manager.
  • Add a DNS TXT entry to your DNS record to confirm ownership of your domain.

Currently, SHOPLINE uses the first method (adding Meta tags to the domain homepage) to help you complete domain verification.

 

 

Automatic Verification

After you complete the asset authorization for the Data tracking, Shop, and Customer management modules in your SHOPLINE admin panel > Facebook channel, the system automatically obtains the meta tags in your assets and adds them to your domains. You do not need to take any action to complete the domain verification during the entire process.

Note:  If you have already provided the meta tags before, we won’t add them for you again.

 

 

Manual Verification

You can also complete the addition and verification of meta tags in the system by yourself. Follow the steps below:

  1. In Meta’s Business Setting, go to Domains in the Brand Safety and Suitability section.
  2. Select the domain of your store, or click Add to add a new domain. Follow the instructions and click Add to add the domain.
