The domain verification card may initially show as "Pending" as it can take up to 48 hours for your domain to be verified
​

​Note: Most often, DKIM and DMARC records are verified quicker and SPF records can take up to 48 hours to propagate. So it's not uncommon to see a "Partially verified" screen. You do not need to go through the verification steps again, though.
​

Wait 24-48 hours and come back to check if your domain has been successfully authenticated.
