How We Verify Sellers
No paid badges. No fake reviews. Our Trust Tier system uses real performance data to rate every seller on UPshop — automatically.
🔍 How It Works
Every store on UPshop starts as a New Seller. As they fulfill orders and build a track record, our system automatically evaluates their performance and upgrades their trust tier. This happens in the background — sellers don't apply or pay for badges.
We measure three things:
Orders Fulfilled
How many orders they've successfully completed
Account Age
How long they've been active on UPshop
Cancellation Rate
Percentage of orders cancelled by the seller
🏅 Trust Tiers Explained

🛍️ For Sellers — How to Earn Your Badge
Fulfill orders promptly
Mark orders as fulfilled in your dashboard after delivery. This is the #1 factor.
Keep your cancellation rate low
Avoid cancelling orders. Only accept orders you can fulfill.
Stay active
Keep your store updated with accurate stock and pricing. The longer your track record, the better.
