Change domain for instagram shopping to work

Hi all,

I recently started up my shopify business last month however have had trouble setting up instagram shopping. I’ve contacted facebook numerous times and no help.

When in instagram app, i select set up instagram shopping and it prompt me to verify my domain however its the wrong domain, its my original shopify domain. I need to change it to my new domain which is already verified on facebook to start my insta shopping.

hoping someone knows a solution?

many thanks.

I went back into Facebook business manager → Brand Safety-> domains and deleted the shopify domain that was connected with my ig and left personalized domain (verified). This seemed to work. My ig page populated in the setup page on shopify and allowed me to move on to the next step of the ig shop setup. Good Luck!

Has anybody found a solution to this? I have changed everything in FB Business Manager and it’s all approved but on Insta it still is asking me to approve the old domain that I deleted? Very frustrating and difficult to find out how to solve the issue. Thanks heaps, Amy

Hello all!
I had this issue and now it’s resolved, you have to contact Facebook support via chat and open a case about this.
It took about a month and some pressure from me but they dealt with it and “unlocked“ the Instagram shopping in order to request a review again. I got approved everything works now.
Hope this works for you too!

After months of trying to figure it out and trying everything, I just deleted the facebook off of my shopify and redid everything and now I am waiting for verification! It finally seemed to work, fingers crossed!

Sorry, I also have a domain verification problem, instagram does not see my own domain and asks to verify not my domain …
How did you solve this problem, please the details … ? Thanks!

I have the same issue. It’s really frustrating

Okay, I have been dealing with this for a month! You can NOT edit DNS settings with the .shopify url. However, I finally got a customer service agent on chat with Shopify that was able to help. You CAN do a metatag verification. This worked IMMEDIATELY and after a month, I got a message from Instagram saying I was now approved to shop!! Use this option instead of dns verification!

Hi

I unlinked shopify from instagram, then relinked it. Uninstalled the instagram app and reinstalled it, then followed the process to select a domain in Instagram, then in FB Business Manager add a domain and verify using a meta tag. I am no IT whizz but I managed to get through it after a couple of searches.

How do you add a meta tag for verification?

What email did you use as I can’t seem to get it sor yet d

On my Instagram it has a domain that I need to verify but that domain doesn’t exist and I can’t seem to change it any ideas?

It seems to happen a lot. It´s happening to me as well and it´s so frustrating. Can Shopify get a quick turn around about this? A guide to how to fix it as it happens with so many customers?

I have tried contacting Shopify but was told there’s nothing they can do. And that this needs to be fixed on facebook/ig side.
