Some platforms ask you to prove that your shop website belongs to you before they let you use it. Pinterest calls this "claiming" your site, Google calls it "verification". They all work the same way: the platform gives you a short code, you add it to your website, and they check that it is there.
Your Printumo Shop has a place to paste that code. You do not need to touch any HTML, and you do not need a developer.
Before you start
Your shop needs to be published. Platforms cannot check a shop that is still a draft, because its pages are not visible to anyone yet.
You need an account with the platform you are verifying with: Pinterest, Google Search Console, Meta Business or Bing Webmaster Tools.
Step 1: Get your code from the platform
Start on the platform's side, not in Printumo. Each one gives you a code during its verification flow. Look for the option described as an HTML tag or meta tag:
Pinterest: in your business account, claim your website and choose the HTML tag method.
Google Search Console: add your site as a URL prefix property and choose the HTML tag method.
Meta (Facebook): in Business settings, add your domain and choose the Meta-tag verification method.
Bing Webmaster Tools: add your site and choose the HTML meta tag method.
They will show you a line that looks something like this:
<meta name="p:domain_verify" content="88d4ea80537627ffc557732e7a6fd2bd"/>
Copy the whole line. You do not need to pick the code out of it yourself.
Step 2: Paste the code into Printumo
Sign in to Printumo and click Printumo shop in the left sidebar.
Click the Domains tab.
Scroll down to Site verification.
Paste your code into the field for your platform: Pinterest, Google Search Console, Meta (Facebook) or Bing Webmaster Tools.
Click Save verification codes.
You can paste the whole tag or just the code on its own. Printumo picks the code out either way, so after saving you will see only the short code in the field. That is normal and means it worked.
Fill in one platform or all four. Leaving a field empty simply means nothing is added for that platform.
Step 3: Finish verification on the platform
Go back to the platform and click its Verify or Claim button. It will visit your shop, find the code, and confirm the site is yours.
Give it the address your shop actually uses:
If you have connected your own domain, use that, for example
yourstore.com.If you have not, use the Default address shown at the top of the same Domains page, for example
printumo.com/shop/your-shop.
Verification is usually instant. Some platforms take a few minutes.
Common problems
"Verification code does not look right"
Printumo checks that what you pasted could actually be a verification code. This message usually means part of the text was cut off while copying, or that something other than the code was pasted. Copy the line from the platform again, all of it, and paste it once more.
The platform says it cannot find the code
Check that you clicked Save verification codes, and that your shop is published. A shop that is still a draft returns "not found" to everyone, including the platform, so there is nothing for it to read. Publish your shop, then try verifying again.
The field looks different after saving
That is expected. Printumo stores only the code itself and builds the tag around it, so the field shows the short code rather than the full line you pasted.
Can I remove the code afterwards?
Most platforms let you remove a verification code once your site is verified, but many re-check it later and will drop your verification if the code has gone. We recommend leaving it in place. It is invisible to your customers and has no effect on how your shop looks or how fast it loads.
To remove one, clear the field and click Save verification codes again.
