# Verify your site ownership

#### What is Ownership Verification?

Ownership verification means proving to CCPayment that a merchant owns a specific website. Verified merchants on CCPayment have certain specific functional permissions.

CCPayment regularly verifies website ownership. If your website enables Cloudflare's bot fight mode or similar anti-bot strategies, the HTML tag verification method may not pass regular checks. In such cases, we recommend using the method of uploading an HTML file for ownership verification.

You can choose the ownership verification method based on your specific circumstances.
