Check 7 / 9 LOW impact In the full checklist
Verified buyer badge only — no unverified
What this check is
The verified badge is what separates a customer who bought the product from anyone who can type a review. Showing it only when it is true makes every other badge on the site credible.
How to implement it
Enable the verified-buyer flag from the order data, display the badge next to the reviewer’s name, and moderate out reviews that cannot be verified rather than labelling them as verified. Never display the badge on imported reviews you cannot trace to an order.
How to verify it
Pick ten reviews marked as verified and confirm each has a matching order in the store records, then confirm unverifiable reviews carry no badge.
