Domain verification
How to confirm that you own the domain where you're embedding the Fibly widget.
The Fibly widget only works on domains that have been verified in the panel. This safeguard protects your account against the widget being embedded on someone else's site and impersonating your brand.
Without this step, the script will load, but the widget won't appear.
Step 1: add the domain in the panel
- In the Fibly panel, go to Settings, Domains.
- Click Add domain.
- Enter your site's full address, e.g.
https://yourstore.com. - Save, and the system will generate a verification token.
Step 2: create a verification file on your site
On your domain, place a text file at the address:
https://yourstore.com/.well-known/fibly-verify.txt
The file's contents should be exactly:
fibly-verification=TOKEN_FROM_PANEL
Copy the TOKEN_FROM_PANEL value from the panel, without any extra
spaces or newline characters.
Step 3: run the verification
Return to the panel and click Verify. Fibly will download the file from your server and compare its contents against the token. The domain's status will change from Pending to Verified.
If verification fails, you'll see a specific message:
| Message | What it means |
|---|---|
| Verification file not found | The file doesn't exist or is at a different address. Check the path. |
| File contents don't match the token | The file's contents contain a typo or an old token. Generate a new one. |
| Couldn't connect to the server | The domain isn't responding. Check that the site is publicly accessible. |
| SSL certificate error | The site doesn't support HTTPS or the certificate has expired. |
How to create the file on different platforms
The way you upload the file depends on the platform that hosts your site:
- Your own hosting / self-hosted WordPress: upload the file via FTP or
the file manager in your hosting panel, to the public directory (usually
public_html/.well-known/). - Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, hosted PrestaShop: these usually don't
allow direct access to the
.well-known/directory. In that case, write to us at kontakt@fibly.pl and we'll help you arrange an alternative verification method.
Multiple domains
You can verify any number of domains, e.g. the Polish and international versions of your store, or your demo and production versions. You add each one separately, and each has its own token.
What's next
Once the domain is successfully verified, the widget will start loading. Check that everything is working by following the Installation verification article.
