Pludor runs one identity verification per profile in tiers: tax details (W-9/W-8BEN) for payouts up to $600/yr, a document plus selfie scan for up to $10,000/yr, and enhanced review beyond that. It is valid for one year and shared across the wallet, Wayfare and creator earnings; stores can earn a verification badge.
Buyers need to know a seller or driver is real, and payouts need identity checks without repeating them in every part of the app.
One profile-wide ID check that unlocks payouts and verified badges. You need a Pludor store - free to create.
Open your wallet at pludor.com/me/wallet and choose verify. First you enter Tier 1 tax details (name, address, tax ID), then Tier 2: scan a government ID and take a selfie. Most checks are automatic; some get reviewed, and you re-verify once a year when prompted.
No, identity verification is free for every store and profile. You only need a Pludor store, which is free to create at pludor.com/setup with no card needed. There's no separate charge for the Verified badge either.
Verification is valid for one year, then you must redo it when prompted. Pludor also purges your documents after expiry, so your ID isn't kept on file indefinitely. Because it's shared across the wallet, Wayfare and creator earnings, one renewal covers everything.
Complete identity verification from your wallet and your store can earn a verification badge. Buyers see the badge so they know the seller is real. It's free and tied to the same yearly verification cycle.
No. Pludor runs one identity verification per profile that's shared across the wallet, Wayfare and creator earnings. Verify once and payouts work everywhere without repeating checks. If you drive or host on Wayfare, the same verification covers you.
The ID and selfie are used for the KYC scan, and documents are purged after your verification expires. Verification is required for payouts, which is standard for platforms moving money. If you're not ready, you can still create a free store and explore before verifying.

Because payouts move real money to you, platforms must confirm who you are - that's what tax forms and ID checks are for. It also protects buyers, who want to know a seller or driver is real before paying. Pludor keeps it to one check per profile per year instead of repeating it across features.
