Hello, i try to verify my shopify store with alibaba affiliate program and they asked me to add a root.txt file in my website for verification! Can anybody please give me instructions how to do that?

Hi, @Antonch!
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.

I understand that you need to verify your shop to join an affiliate program. Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific information on how to set this up. I suggest reaching out to Alibaba directly to learn more about the special instructions for adding the root.txt file. Specifically, you can inquire whether you need to access your theme editor, navigate to the Asset folder, select "add new asset," and upload your root.txt file there.

Feel free to provide updates and more information, and I'll do my best to guide you in the right direction.
