Cross-border deals involve money, travel, and physical goods. Verification is one layer—alongside deal payment protection, purchase proof, reviews, and dispute support—designed to reduce informal courier risk.

Customers should still read profiles, reviews, trip details, and deal terms carefully.

The traveler verification flow asks for three document types:

Uploads accept JPEG, PNG, WebP, or PDF, up to 5MB per file. Submit readable files so reviewers can complete checks without unnecessary rejection cycles.

After submission, verification is pending while Shiply reviews your documents manually. Timing varies with volume and document quality—Shiply does not publish a fixed SLA in product configuration.

Verified means your traveler verification was approved and the verified badge can appear in traveler contexts such as listings (the badge is global for that traveler). Rejected means you may need to correct issues and resubmit. Invalid means documents are missing or out of sync—follow on-screen instructions, which often means re-uploading all three files before listing again.

While review is pending or after approval, editing may be locked until Shiply rejects the submission or clears it for a new upload cycle.

Verification does not guarantee identity in every real-world scenario, lawful customs outcomes, on-time flights, product condition, or that a deal will complete successfully.

Shiply may approve, reject, or mark verification invalid when documents are incomplete, expired, or misleading, consistent with platform policies. Internal review criteria are not published in detail.

Create an account, then open Publish a Trip (`/listings/new`). If verification is required, Shiply will route you through the signed-in verification flow before your listing can go live. Verification is required to publish trips; it is not required for every other traveler action on the platform. For broader safety practices, read Trust & Safety and How It Works.
