Updating your host information in Spotify for Creators ensures that all your audio updates and performance analytics sync perfectly now that you've moved.
We’re thrilled to have you! To make sure your data reaches you without interruption, you need to inform Spotify that Acast is now your official hosting provider.
Step 1: The 301 Redirect
Before touching Spotify, ensure you have a 301 redirect in place with your old host. This acts as a "change of address" for your RSS feed. Once the redirect is live, proceed to the steps below.
Step 2: Update Spotify for Creators
First you must log into your Spotify for Creators dashboard. If you don't have an account yet, you will need to create one and "claim" your feed using your Acast RSS link.
To swap your hosting provider:
Log in to your Spotify for Creators account.
Select your show from the dashboard.
Navigate to Settings > Availability (or the Details tab on some versions).
Find the RSS Feed field and paste your new Acast RSS Feed URL.
Update the Hosting Provider dropdown menu to Acast.
Step 3: Verify Ownership
Spotify will now verify that you own the show by sending an email.
Check your inbox: Spotify will send an 8-digit verification code to the email address listed in your RSS feed.
Enter the code: Copy this code and paste it back into the Spotify dashboard to finalize the change.
Note: If you're on a paid plan Acast often uses an email mask to protect you from spam. If the code doesn't arrive, go to your show then press Settings > Advanced and toggle "Obfuscate email" to OFF. Once Spotify verifies you, you can toggle it back on.
(Special Note for Acast Flex - If you are an Acast Flex user, please use your provided RSS feed but ensure that the Hosting Provider field in Spotify is manually updated to Acast)
