Domain verification required

What this means

Meta requires you to verify ownership of the domain in your link attribute before catalog items can serve. Without verification, products are pending disapproval.

Why this happens

Domain verification through Meta Business Suite hasn't been completed, or DNS TXT records weren't propagated.

How to fix it

  1. Open Meta Business Suite → Brand Safety → Domains.
  2. Add your store domain.
  3. Verify via DNS TXT record, HTML file upload, or meta tag.
  4. Wait up to 72 hours for DNS propagation, then re-check verification.
  5. Once verified, catalog items will re-process automatically.
