"This product does not use the domain you selected for Instagram Shopping"

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Users are experiencing issues tagging products on Instagram Shopping after changing their Shopify store domain from the original .myshopify.com address to a custom domain. Instagram continues to reference the old domain used during initial approval, causing a domain mismatch error.

Core Problem:

  • Instagram Shopping approval is tied to the original domain
  • Changing domains afterward breaks product tagging functionality
  • Facebook/Instagram and Shopify support often redirect blame to each other

Working Solutions:

Temporary Fix:

  • Manually edit product URLs in Facebook Catalog Manager, reverting them to the original .myshopify.com domain
  • Note: Shopify’s automatic sync will eventually overwrite these changes

Permanent Fix:

  • Contact Facebook Commerce Manager support to request Instagram shop unlinking
  • Reapply for Instagram Shopping with the new custom domain
  • Approval typically takes 2-4 business days

Alternative (2025 update):

  • Bulk edit product URLs in Facebook Catalog Manager, replacing custom domain with .myshopify.com in the URL field
  • Changes take effect immediately and redirect properly to the custom domain

Prevention:
Set up your final custom domain before applying for Instagram Shopping to avoid this issue entirely.

I’m waiting for a answer from Facebook. Until that, I returned my instagram account to personal. I saw some people saying that if you returned to personal for a while you’ll have to apply to Instagram Shopping again and chose another domain. So I’m trying this.

I think the problem is because when I apply from shopping my store was host in shopify. After the aprove, I change to my own host and now the dns goes to another domain.
