After logging in to your Google account, you will be transferred to the page to start verifying your domain ownership. You will see two options:
Domain: This is to fully verify ownership of all addresses and subdomains of your domain.
URL Prefix: This is to verify ownership on specific URLs that are entered only.
Please choose the domain in order to proceed with the verification of ownership on any subdomain in the future without the need to enter it manually later.
When you click Continue, a pop-up window will appear with the TXT record that must be added in the DNS settings of your store's domain so that you can prove its ownership. Please copy the record as shown in the following image:
