Domain verification is a process used by Poper to ensure that the pop-ups created through its platform are being used by the rightful owners of the domain where they will be displayed. This is a critical step to prevent misuse of the platform, such as unauthorized individuals creating pop-ups on domains they do not own.
Here's how the domain verification process typically works in Poper:
1. Ownership Proof:
To verify a domain, you must prove that you have control over the website's content where the pop-up will be shown. This is usually done by adding a unique verification code to your website.
2. Verification Code:
Poper provides you with a unique piece of code or a verification file that needs to be uploaded to your website. Sometimes this could be a meta tag or a DNS record.
3. Adding the Code:
You must place this code in the specified location on your website, often in the head section of your site's HTML.
4. Verification Attempt:
Once the code is added, you can instruct Poper to verify the domain by clicking a 'Verify Domain' button within the platform.
5. Checking for the Code:
Poper will then check your website for the presence of the verification code. If the code is found and matches the one provided, it confirms that you have the necessary access to the website's files, and therefore, the domain is verified.
6. Completion of Verification:
Upon successful verification, Poper will mark the domain as verified, allowing you to proceed with creating and displaying pop-ups on your website.
7. Error in Verification:
If there's an error and the domain can't be verified, Poper will provide an error message. Common reasons for failure include the code not being placed correctly on the website, the website being inaccessible, or the verification code not matching.
8. Security and Trust:
Domain verification is an essential step that enhances security and trust, ensuring that pop-ups are not being misused or placed without permission.
It's important to follow the domain verification steps carefully to avoid any issues that may prevent your pop-ups from functioning correctly. If you run into trouble, Poper often provides support channels such as email help or a knowledge base to assist you through the process.
