Common questions

How do I get my online store verified with a trust badge?

You typically need to submit your store details for review and wait for approval. On Pludor, go to Settings > Verification, upload a logo under Settings > Branding & Visuals, add a valid contact email and phone, tick the store policy box, and press Request Verification. It's reviewed in 1-2 business days.

How much does store verification cost?

On Pludor, Store Verification is on for every store, including the Free plan - you get a free amount every month and only pay for what you use beyond that (1 credit = 1 cent). So a new store can request verification without paying anything upfront.

What do I need before I can request verification for my store?

You need three things: a store logo, valid contact info (email and phone), and acceptance of the store policy. On Pludor, upload the logo under Settings > Branding & Visuals, check your contact details, then open Settings > Verification to complete the request.

How long does store verification take to get approved?

Pludor reviews verification requests in 1-2 business days. Once approved, your storefront shows a trust badge and your store gets priority in search results. Just make sure your logo and contact info are in place before you submit.

Does a verified badge actually help me sell more?

Yes, because buyers hesitate to pay an unknown store, and a trust badge signals you've been reviewed. On Pludor, verification also gives your store priority in search results, so shoppers find you more easily. It's especially recommended for new stores and stores selling higher-value items.

What's the difference between store verification and identity verification (KYC)?

Store verification is a per-store badge showing your storefront is reviewed; identity verification (KYC) is a profile-wide ID check that unlocks payouts and verified seller badges. On Pludor, KYC is done at pludor.com/me/wallet: Tier 1 is name, address and tax ID, Tier 2 is a government ID scan plus a selfie, and it renews yearly.

Can I get verified on a free plan or do I need to pay?

You can get verified on a free plan. Pludor's Store Verification Badge is available to every store, including the Free plan, with a free monthly amount included - you only pay for what you use past that. No card is needed to open a free store.

Is Pludor store verification safe and legit?

Yes, it's a genuine review process: Pludor checks that you have a store logo, valid contact info and have accepted the store policy before approving your badge. Approval is done by Pludor within 1-2 business days, and the badge then shows on your storefront to reassure buyers.

How do I start an online store from scratch and then get it verified?

First create your store - on Pludor go to pludor.com/setup, pick a store name and business type, and sign up with no card needed on Free. Add your first product under Products in the Core Commerce menu and connect Stripe for payouts in Settings. Then request verification under Settings > Verification with your logo and contact info in place.

My verification request failed - what should I check?

The most common gaps are a missing store logo, invalid or missing contact info, or not accepting the store policy. Fix the logo under Settings > Branding & Visuals, confirm your contact email and phone are valid, tick the policy box in Settings > Verification, and resubmit. If it still fails, contact Pludor support for the specific reason.
