A verified pricing badge appears on a product listing when we've confirmed the brand's Faire price matches the price on their own website. It's a signal you can use to trust the pricing you're seeing when deciding what to purchase for your shop.
What does a verified pricing badge mean?
We compare the price listed on Faire against the price listed on that brand's own publicly accessible website. When the two match, we add a verified pricing badge to the listing. This tells you the price shown reflects what the product actually sells for elsewhere, so you can rely on it when estimating your margin.
Why does a verified pricing badge matter when I'm shopping?
You likely use a brand's price to figure out what margin you'll make when you resell a product. A verified pricing badge means that the price has been checked against the brand's own website, so you're less likely to base your buying decision on a price that doesn't reflect the real market.
What if a product doesn't have a verified pricing badge?
Not having a badge doesn't mean a product's price is wrong. It only means we haven't confirmed a match between the brand's Faire price and their website price, which can happen if the brand doesn't have prices listed publicly on their own site, or if we simply haven't verified that listing yet. You can still shop and order these products as usual.
