Tradoi's Verification Tiers, Explained: Earned, Not Bought
By Tradoi Team · Published 2026-05-20 · Updated 2026-06-12
Tradoi has four verification tiers. Each one tells a buyer how much of your business we have checked and confirmed. The more we have confirmed, the higher you sit, and the easier it is for a buyer to trust you enough to call back.
The rule behind all four is simple, and it is the part sellers like most. You pay for the verification check, not the badge. Pass the check and you earn the tier. If you don't pass, no amount of money will get it for you.
This guide walks through what each tier means, what decides yours, and the steps you can take today to move up.
The short version
- There are four tiers, and each one shows buyers how much of your business has been checked
- Verified is live today and free for our first 10,000 sellers
- Verified+, Pro, and Gold are on the way, each adding a deeper round of checks
- The rule never changes: you pay for the check, not the badge
The Four Tiers, and the Rule Behind Them
Every tier reflects how much of your business has been independently checked and confirmed. The more we have confirmed, the higher you sit, and the stronger the signal a buyer reads at a glance. Right now one tier is live and free, and the deeper three are on the way.
- Verified is live today and free for our first 10,000 sellers. It covers your business verification, your phone and email, and the Trust Score you build through real activity on the platform.
- Verified+, Verified Pro, and Verified Gold are coming next. Each one stacks a deeper round of checks on top of the tier below it: Verified+ adds deeper digital checks, Verified Pro adds a physical audit of your business, and Verified Gold adds sample testing and ongoing performance monitoring. The full details for each open as it launches.
- The rule that never changes is this: you pay for the check, not the badge. Clear the check and you earn the tier. Fail it, and no payment will buy it for you.
- Your tier only reflects how much of your business we have checked. It says nothing about how big you are, what you sell, or who you sell to. On Tradoi, trust is earned, never purchased.
What the Verified Tier Gives You Today
Verified isn't a starter level you grow out of. It is the gate that lets a buyer see you at all, and it arrives with plenty already switched on.
- You get the Tradoi-verified badge on your Digital Store, your search cards, and your replies to buyers. That is the mark a buyer trusts in a second.
- You get a Digital Store that shows up on Google, unlimited listings, your Verified Leads inbox, Smart Search matching, Digital Handshake order tracking, and AI help with your listings.
- And you get the one thing that matters most: the right to be seen at all. A business has to be verified before its products go live, so every Tradoi seller a buyer ever meets has already cleared that bar.
Your Tier, Your Trust Score, and Export Ready Are Not the Same
Tradoi shows a few different marks next to your name, and sellers genuinely mix them up. Once you see what each one is and what it does for you, the confusion clears up fast.
- Your verification tier is how much of your business we have checked: your phone, your email, your business verification, and then the deeper audits as you climb. It is the first thing a buyer reads on your storefront.
- Your Trust Score is a different thing. It is the number from 0 to 100 that you build over time by completing orders, replying to buyers quickly, earning good reviews, and bringing in reputation you have built elsewhere. You can read more about how it works in our guide to the Trust Score. It reflects how you behave, and like the tier, it is always earned and never bought.
- Export Ready is a separate badge for sellers who add a verified Import Export Code. It opens you up to buyers abroad. It is not a tier, and it doesn't change your Trust Score.
- So none of these contradict each other. A well-verified new seller can sit at a high tier with a modest Trust Score, simply because they haven't completed orders yet. And a seller on the Verified tier can still carry Export Ready. Different marks, different jobs.
Why This Beats Pay-to-Play
On older B2B directories like IndiaMART, the biggest spender gets the most attention, whether or not their business has really been checked. That is the doubt a lot of sellers carry when they ask whether Tradoi verification is actually real. It is, and here is the difference.
- On a pay-to-play platform, you buy a bigger subscription and you get more leads. How well your business is verified barely comes into it.
- On Tradoi, the badge always stands for a check you passed. Your money pays for the verification work; it never pays for the badge itself.
- That is why buyers prefer it. Everyone they meet here has cleared real verification, not just paid for a higher spot in the list. Fewer fake leads, more genuine ones, and more reason for a buyer to pick up the phone.
How to Move Up
There is a clear order to it, and no shortcuts. Clear the checks you can today, and the deeper tiers will be waiting when you are ready for them.
- Whichever channel you signed up with, phone or email, is already verified. Add the other one in your settings and confirm the code we send, so both are covered.
- To verify your business, upload your GST or Udyam certificate. A short review follows, and this is your single biggest step up.
- Add any certifications you hold under Documents, such as FSSAI for food, ISO for quality, or BIS for regulated products. Each one adds another layer buyers can see.
- Bring in the reputation you have already built elsewhere by linking your Google Business profile, your website, or your social pages. This feeds your Trust Score rather than your tier, but buyers notice it all the same.
- If you sell abroad, add your Import Export Code to earn the Export Ready badge. It sits apart from your tier, but it opens the door to international buyers.
You pay for the verification check. The badge is earned by passing it, never bought.
Conclusion
Tiers on Tradoi reward the work of proving who you are, not the size of your budget. Start where every seller starts. Claim your free Verified store, then clear each check you can: your email, then your business verification. The deeper tiers will open in time, and when they do, the same rule holds. The check is paid for, the badge is earned. Keep three things straight and you will never be confused again. Your tier is how much of your business we have checked, your Trust Score is how you behave, and Export Ready is a separate door for sellers who ship abroad.
Common Questions
How many verification tiers does Tradoi have?
Tradoi has four verification tiers: Verified, Verified+, Verified Pro, and Verified Gold. Each one shows buyers how much of your business has been independently checked, and each higher tier adds a deeper round of checks on top of the one below it.
Can I buy a higher verification tier on Tradoi?
No. You pay for the verification check, not the badge. If you pass the check, you earn the tier. If you don't pass, no amount of money will get it for you. Trust on Tradoi is always earned, never purchased.
Is the Verified tier free?
Yes. The Verified tier is live today and free for our first 10,000 sellers. It covers your business verification, your phone and email, and the Trust Score you build through real activity on the platform.
What is the difference between my verification tier and my Trust Score?
Your verification tier is how much of your business we have checked, such as your phone, email, and business verification. Your Trust Score is a separate number from 0 to 100 that you build over time by completing orders, replying quickly, and earning good reviews. The tier reflects what has been verified; the Trust Score reflects how you behave.
What is the Export Ready badge?
Export Ready is a separate badge for sellers who add a verified Import Export Code. It opens you up to international buyers. It is not a verification tier and it does not change your Trust Score, so a seller on the Verified tier can still carry Export Ready.
