How to Upload Your Podcast to Spotify

Updated Aug 23, 2024

Step 1: Ensure you have a valid “Owner Email” saved in Pray Studio that you will be able to receive confirmation emails to. If you do not, add and save that now in Pray Studio. Spotify requires this to validate your ownership of the RSS feed.

Step 5: Spotify requires that you verify you own the RSS feed by sending a verification number to the Owner Email you previously set up in Pray Studio. Trigger the verification email by clicking “Send code”.

Step 6: Check your email and you should see a new message from Spotify. Copy the verification code that you see in your email, then paste the code in the code field in Spotify and click “Next”.

Step 7: Spotify will ask you to answer a few questions about your podcast. Select your choices, then click “Next”. Note, we recommend you choose “Other / I don’t know” for “Who is your hosting provider?” and “Lifestyle and Health” for “Primary Category”.
