# Domain Verification

Step-by-step guide to make your widgets work securely.

### Why is this required?

Domain verification ensures that your widgets work only on authorized domains. This is crucial for security and prevents unauthorized usage of your account quotas.

- Prevent unauthorized use  
- Secure view limits  
- Full control over data

### Add Your Site

Go to the **Sites page** in your dashboard and click the "Add New Site" button. Enter your domain (e.g. `example.com`).

```
https://example.com
```

### Add Meta Tag

Copy the unique meta tag provided and paste it into your site's `<head>` section. It can be anywhere in the head, but must be accessible on load.

```html
<meta name="liftsell-site-verification" content="site\_123abc..." />
```

### Verify

Click the **Verify** button. We will check your site's HTML for the tag. If found, your widgets will activate immediately.

## Troubleshooting

#### Verification Success

Once verified, the status will turn green. You can now create and display widgets on this domain.

#### Verification Failed?

- Check if tag is in `<head>`
- Ensure site is publicly accessible
- Clear your cache

#### Pro Tips

**HTTP vs HTTPS**

We check HTTPS first. We strongly recommend using HTTPS for security.

**Using a CDN? (Cloudflare, etc.)**

If you added the tag but verification fails, your CDN might be serving an old version of the page. **Purge your cache** and try again.
