Programme details
Bold Finders
Verified
An independent quality mark for online stores. Pass the check, join the directory, display the badge — and prove to shoppers your store isn't playing games.
The four standards
Every verified store is independently checked against these four areas. Standards are fixed and public — a pass is a pass.
Genuine deals
Prices we've cross-checked against RRP and competitors. No fake strikethroughs, no yo-yo pricing.
Fast shipping
Orders ship within two working days, tracked delivery as standard and clear turnaround on the product page.
Real reviews
Verified buyer reviews from a legitimate platform. No paid-for stars, no incentivised feedback.
Secure checkout
HTTPS everywhere, PCI-compliant payments and a returns policy you can actually find and read.
What you get
- A public verification profile on boldfinders.com (indexable, canonical to your store)
- An embeddable Bold Finders Verified badge for your footer or About page
- A listing in the /verified directory with a do-follow link back to your site
- Quarterly re-check so your badge stays honest
- Featured placement in Bold Finders drops and collections
How it works
Apply for free
Send us your store URL. We check it against every standard below — no cost, no obligation.
Fix the gaps (optional)
If you're close to passing, we tell you exactly what's blocking it and how to fix it.
Get verified
Once your store passes, we activate your public profile, badge and directory listing.
Stay verified
We re-check every quarter. If standards slip, you get 30 days to fix it before the badge is retired.
FAQs
What does it cost?
The check and verification are free. If your store meets the standards, you get the badge and directory listing at no cost.
Do I have to be a Bold Finders partner?
No. The programme is open to any online store whose experience passes the check, regardless of platform or size.
Is the badge a paid link?
No. The badge links to your public verification profile on our site — independent proof of the check, not a sponsored placement.
How long does verification last?
Verification is valid for 12 months and re-checked every quarter. If standards slip, you get 30 days to fix it before the badge is retired.
