What verification proves
Verification connects your MasokoLink shop to a real, accountable business. It is the foundation every trust badge is built on.
Verified Seller
Identity and phone confirmed
Step 1 — Confirm your identity
Start in Dashboard → Settings → Verification. You will need:
- A government-issued ID (national ID or passport).
- A phone number you can receive an OTP on.
- The email tied to your account.
Step 2 — Add your business details
Tell buyers who they are dealing with. Accurate details here power your public profile.
- Legal or trading business name.
- Physical or pickup location.
- Business category and what you sell.
- Optional: TIN / registration number for the Registered Business badge.
Use real details
Mismatched names between your ID and business slow down review. Keep them consistent.
Step 3 — Connect a payout method
Escrow releases funds to a verified payout destination. Add a mobile money number or bank account and confirm the small test deposit.
The badges you can earn
| Badge | Requirement | Buyer signal |
|---|---|---|
| Verified Seller | ID + phone confirmed | "This is a real person" |
| Registered Business | Valid registration number | "This is a real company" |
| Trusted Trader | 25+ completed orders, 4.5★+ | "Proven track record" |
Badges lift conversion
