Buyer Trust Score on Tradoi: What It Is and How to Raise It

On Tradoi, buyers carry a Trust Score, not just sellers. A buyer Trust Score is a number out of 100 that sits beside your inquiry and tells a supplier how reliable you are to deal with. A higher score means the good suppliers reply faster and quote you seriously instead of treating your request as just another lead.

Here is the whole thing in one line. Your score is built from four parts: your profile and verification, which is the foundation and the biggest single thing you control; your activity on the platform; your reputation with sellers; minus a small penalties layer if you slip up.

Most of it is in your hands, and you earn most of it once. You cannot pay for a higher score, which is exactly why a seller believes the number they see. This guide walks each part, so you know precisely what to do.

The Short Version

• Your buyer Trust Score is a number out of 100, shown to sellers next to your inquiry. It is earned, never bought.
• An individual buyer's score tops out lower; once your business is verified, your ceiling rises to the top of the scale.
• Foundation (your profile and verification) is the biggest single thing you control, and you earn most of it once.
• Posting real RFQs and completing real orders adds to it, and good seller reviews top it up.
• A few habits cost you: cancelling, going silent, or spamming the same RFQ.

What Is a Buyer Trust Score?

A buyer Trust Score is a number from 0 to 100 that Tradoi calculates from your verification, your profile, your buying activity, and the reviews sellers leave you. It is the single signal a supplier reads to size you up before they reply. You do not set it and you cannot purchase it. The platform earns it for you from what you actually do, which is exactly why sellers trust it. One point to be clear about up front: your Trust Score has nothing to do with which membership tier you are on. The two are separate. A higher score comes from real behavior, never from spending. A score you could buy would tell a seller nothing.

Why Does a Buyer Trust Score Matter?

When you post an RFQ, sellers see your score the moment your inquiry lands. A strong one tells the better suppliers you are a serious, reliable buyer, so they prioritize your request and quote you their best price. A thin one gets a slower, more cautious reply, if it gets one at all. Building your score is how you move to the front of the queue.

Two Buyer Types, Two Ceilings

Which type you are sets the highest score you can reach. Everyone starts as an Individual, and you can upgrade whenever you are ready. Every buyer verifies their phone and email; enterprise buyers add a verified business on top, which is what lifts the ceiling.

• As an Individual buyer, your score has a lower ceiling, built from your phone, email, a complete profile, your buying activity, and seller reviews.
• As an Enterprise buyer, your score can reach the top of the scale. That is everything an Individual earns, plus a verified business, which lifts your ceiling the rest of the way.
• Upgrading is open any time. In your account settings, open the Business tab, add your business details, and once your business is verified you become an Enterprise buyer automatically.

Foundation: Your Profile and Verification

The biggest single thing you control, and it stays yours once earned.

Filling in your profile and verifying who you are is the foundation of your score for everyone, and it climbs further for Enterprise buyers. Every Individual buyer can clear the first set without spending a rupee.

• Verifying your phone (you did this at signup) and your email is the first thing that moves your score, before you do anything else.
• Your full name adds to it, and your city and state add a little more.
• A short business description earns a bit, and so does a profile photo or logo.
• Your industry counts too: the categories you buy in, picked during onboarding and editable later.

Enterprise buyers go further

• Verifying your business is the single biggest jump in your score. It is a quick upload from the Business tab, and Tradoi checks it for you.
• Your company name adds to it, filled in for you from your verified details or entered by you.

Activity: Use the Platform

One-time milestones. Earn each once and it is yours for good.

Actually buying earns you a meaningful chunk of your score. You earn it from real transactions, not from logging in every day. Buyers come when they need to buy, and the score respects that.

• Your first RFQ counts the moment you post a request and it gets matched to at least one seller.
• Your first order counts when you place it.
• Your first completed order is worth the most of the three, when an order of ₹2,000 or more finishes through the Tradoi Digital Handshake. Courier-tracked orders earn the full amount.

Reputation: Be a Buyer Sellers Want

Sellers rate you too, and it lifts your score.

After an order completes, the seller can review you. Those reviews build your Reputation layer, and they are exactly the signal the next supplier looks at before deciding how seriously to treat your inquiry.

• Reviews reflect how you actually buy: paying as agreed, communicating clearly, and following through.
• Your score blends your average rating with how many reviews you have collected, so a steady track record adds up over time.
• The way to win here is simple. Be the buyer you would want to sell to.

How Do I Raise My Buyer Trust Score?

If you want the fastest climb, work the parts in the order below. The early steps earn the most for the least effort, and most of them are one-time.

1. Complete your profile first. Your name, city and state, a short description, a photo, and your industry are quick wins that you earn once and keep.
2. Verify your business if you can. It moves you to Enterprise and is the single biggest jump available.
3. Post a real RFQ. The moment it matches to at least one seller, you earn your first activity points and start receiving quotes.
4. Place and complete a real order through the Digital Handshake. Your first order and first completed order are both meaningful steps up.
5. Earn good reviews. Pay as agreed, reply clearly, and follow through, and the Reputation layer builds on its own.

What Raises and Lowers Your Buyer Trust Score?

Three parts add to your score and one can pull it down. Penalties sit in their own layer. They do not erase the points you have earned in Foundation, Activity, or Reputation, but they do lower your displayed score, and they stack. Let enough build up and your account can be restricted. The table below shows what moves the number either way.

Conclusion

Your buyer Trust Score is not vanity. It is leverage. Complete your profile, verify your business, finish a few real orders, and treat your suppliers well, and the number climbs on its own. The payoff is concrete: faster replies, sharper quotes, and first call on the suppliers everyone else is competing for.

Common Questions

What is a buyer Trust Score on Tradoi?

A buyer Trust Score is a number from 0 to 100 that Tradoi calculates from your verification, your profile, your buying activity, and the reviews sellers leave you. It sits next to your inquiry so a supplier can see how reliable you are before they reply. You earn it through real behavior; you cannot buy it.

How is a buyer's Trust Score calculated?

It runs from 0 to 100 across four parts: your profile and verification, which is the foundation and the biggest single thing you control; your activity on the platform; your reputation from seller reviews; minus a small penalties layer if you cancel orders, go silent, or spam RFQs.

What is the difference between an Individual and an Enterprise buyer?

An Individual buyer's score has a lower ceiling, built from their phone, email, a complete profile, their buying activity, and seller reviews. An Enterprise buyer can reach the top of the scale by verifying their business, which is the single biggest jump available. You start as an Individual and can upgrade any time from the Business tab in your settings.

Why does my buyer Trust Score matter?

Sellers see your score right next to your inquiry. A higher score tells the good suppliers you are a reliable buyer, so they reply faster and quote you more seriously instead of treating your inquiry as just another lead.

How do I raise my buyer Trust Score the fastest?

Start with your profile and verification, since it is the foundation and you earn it once. Verifying your business is the single biggest jump, and it moves you to Enterprise. After that, post a real RFQ, place and complete an order, and earn good reviews from the sellers you buy from.

What lowers a buyer's Trust Score on Tradoi?

Cancelling a confirmed order costs you, as does leaving a quote unanswered for days, going silent on an active order, not confirming receipt after delivery, and spamming the same RFQ repeatedly in a short window. A dispute ruled against you pulls your score down the hardest of all, scaled to how serious it is. These penalties stack and sit in their own layer, so they never erase points you have earned.

Can I buy a higher buyer Trust Score?

No. Your buyer Trust Score is earned only through verification, a complete profile, real RFQs and orders, and genuine seller reviews. There is no way to pay for a higher one, and your membership tier does not affect it. That separation is what makes the score credible to the seller reading it.

Does a higher buyer Trust Score get me better quotes?

Yes. Sellers read your score the moment your RFQ lands, and a higher one signals a serious, reliable buyer. The better suppliers prioritize those requests and quote them their sharpest price, while a thin score draws a slower, more cautious reply. Building your score moves you to the front of the queue.
