What is 'Social Profile Verification'?
We need to verify if you own the social profile you mentioned. So that we can be sure that we are in touch with the actual influencer and not his/her imposter. For this verification, we use a service (in technical terms, an API) from Instagram/YouTube, which tells us if you have login access to a particular profile or not.
How to verify a social profile?
You must have gotten an option during registration to "Verify Instagram Profile" and similarly for YouTube and other platforms. If you missed this, you can re-access it:
Go to Your Account > Edit Account > Linked Accounts > Verify Instagram Account
Check step-by-step guidance after clicking 'Verify':
Is it safe to verify?
Yes, it's completely safe. We just want to verify that the account belongs to you. You will notice, that we only ask for permission to access the handle name or channel name. We don't get access to any other information.
Change associated Instagram/YouTube account
Only 1 Instagram and 1 YouTube profile can remain associated with an OPA account. Hence, if you want to replace your associated profile,
Go to Your Account > Edit Account > Linked Accounts > Change Instagram Account
If you want to remove the Instagram/YouTube profile completely from your account, you may contact us . How to undo verification?
For Instagram: Go to Instagram App > Settings > Login Security > Apps & Websites > Active > Remove OPA
For YouTube: Go to OPA App > Your Account > Settings > Revoke YouTube Access
For Amazon: Go to OPA App > Your Account > Edit Account > Linked Accounts > Change Amazon Account > enter incorrect URL
Move my Instagram/YouTube profile to new OPA account
For Instagram: This is a little tricky. You will need an additional unimportant Instagram account for this. In your old OPA account, change the associated Instagram Profile to the unimportant one. Now you will be able to associate the important Instagram profile to your new OPA account.
For YouTube: First, you will have to revoke YouTube access from Old OPA account.
Go to OPA App > Your Account > Settings > Revoke YouTube Access
Then you can later login into your new OPA account and 'Verify YouTube Profile' there.
In case you can't access your old account to perform the above steps, you will have to contact us .
