Breeder Verification

Verification gives a trust badge. It is not a condition for a listing to be visible.

Is verification required to sell?

No. A listing can be visible without the badge and without Stripe. Stripe turns on Buy now. The badge is separate and does not replace payments.

Is it worth verifying?

Yes. You unlock the Verified Breeder badge. TerraMarket payments are turned on separately, through Stripe.
