Verifying a Property

Learn how to verify your property ownership through DNS configuration.

Verifying a Property

Once you create a property, we need to verify your ownership of the domain before we can continue with your TollBit integration. Once you have created a property and invited the necessary team members, you will see the property verification page below:

DNS Configuration

Step 1: Create TXT Record

In your domain's DNS settings, create a TXT record for your top level domain (example.com, not tollbit.example.com. This might be a field called "name" or "host" when creating this record). Copy the TXT record value from the TollBit dashboard (it will look like tollbit-domain-verification=...) and paste it into the TXT you created. If you are unable to put the TXT record on your top level domain (if you already have a CNAME), you can put the TXT record on the _tollbit-validation subdomain. Looking at the full host, this would be _tollbit-validation.example.com.

Step 2: Set Up Subdomain

As part of verification, we will also set up the tollbit subdomain in your registrar. This allows users to easily access the content mirrored on your main website. This will not affect your main website's SEO, load times, etc.

Navigate to your DNS provider and create a new NS record for the subdomain. If your main website were www.example.com or example.com, the subdomain must be tollbit.example.com. Point the NS records at the following domains:

ns1.edge.tollbit.com
ns2.edge.tollbit.com
ns3.edge.tollbit.com
ns4.edge.tollbit.com
📘

Depending on your DNS provider, there may be a short period between saving your DNS updates and when the changes are visible to TollBit. This is normal and we give you the ability to continue with the onboarding process while you wait for these changes to propagate

Next Steps

Once your property is verified, you can proceed to set up integrations and configure your marketplace settings.
