But then when you visit your domain, it’s not the .myshopify one…? That would not be acceptable for me…
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.comdomain - 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.comin 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.
