Article Summary

In order to use Facebook Shop/Shop and Instagram Shopping as well as a number of other features in Facebook, you need to verify your domain.

Verification using "Meta-tag Verification"

  1. Go to "Business Settings" in Facebook Business Manager.
  2. Navigate to Brand Safety.
  3. Click on "Domains/Domains" > "Add"
  4. Enter your domain name (butikknavn.no) and press "Add domain"
  5. Update your Business Manager
  6. Go to the "Meta-tag Verification" tab and copy the Meta-tag tag
    See this image as an example.
  7. Then go to your Mystore control panel and to the menu item "Configuration" > "Social media"
  8. Find "Facebook Meta Tag" and install the module.
  9. Paste in your Meta Tag verification code (NB! Not the entire text, just the code itself)
    The code can be found after "Content=" and before "/>.
  10. Save changes and wait about 5 minutes for the online store to update.
  11. Go back to Business Manager and tap "Confirm".
    By now, your domain should be verified.

Verification using "DNS verification":

You can verify your domain by adding a DNS TXT record to your domain setup to prove that you own the domain. Most domain providers have this capability, and the steps can vary. If you need help with verification via DNS verification, please contact your domain provider.
Here is an explainer video from Facebook on how this is done.
