Judge.me trust badge

Shop with clarity and confidence

Buying online can feel uncertain.
You want to know the shop is legitimate, the product will match expectations, and the reviews reflect real experiences.

That’s why we created the Judge.me Trust Badge — a simple confidence signal you can rely on.

Why trust matters

When you shop online, you’re making a decision without seeing the product in person.

Is this store legitimate?

A polished website doesn’t always tell the full story.
It’s not always clear who is behind the brand.

Judge.me Trust Badge gives you the confidence to buy

The Judge.me Trust Badge is an independent trust signal displayed on this store. It gives you a transparent view of how verified customers rate their experience through the Trust Score and Trust Certification.

Trust Score

The Trust Score reflects how real customers rate their experience.

  • Based only on verified purchase reviews

  • Simple average out of 5

  • Includes product and store reviews

  • Calculated the same way for every store


Store Certification

Certification goes beyond ratings.

It means Judge.me has independently verified that the store meets additional standards.

To earn certification, a store must meet objective criteria we assess, including:

  • Transparent review practices, with real reviews published openly so you can shop with confidence.

  • Offers secure payment methods that protect your money and give you a clear path to a refund if you need one.

  • A transparent shipping and refund policy, so costs, delivery times, and returns are all clear upfront.

  • A verified store history that shows a trusted, established business with a proven track record.

Certification is granted only when our standards are met, and it can be removed if they are not.

What this means for you

Clear signals make decisions easier.
