Verification gives a trust badge. It is not a condition for a listing to be visible.
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.
Yes. You unlock the Verified Breeder badge. TerraMarket payments are turned on separately, through Stripe.
Verification is your way to stand out and boost your sales
You signal to buyers that you care about ethics and legal sourcing — your differentiator in the market.
Buyers prefer verified breeders — you increase your chances of making a sale.
The Verified Breeder badge builds your reputation and sets you apart from competitors.
Prepare the following documents before starting the verification process
Photos showing breeding conditions and animal facilities.
Documents confirming the legal origin of animals (invoices, certificates).
For species requiring CITES documentation - copies of permits and certificates.
Identity and contact data verification of the breeder.
After submitting documents, our team will review your application. The verification process usually takes 2-5 business days.
Verification is optional and builds buyer trust. It does not turn on TerraMarket payments.
