Vendors Verification Process

🔐 Vendor Verification: Why It Matters & Why You’re in Good Hands

Before we can activate your store on Black Wall Streets Store, we require all vendors to complete a secure verification process. This step is powered by Stripe Verification, the same trusted platform used by Amazon, Shopify, Lyft, and millions of brands globally.

✅ What Is Stripe Verification?

Stripe Verification is a bank-grade identity confirmation system designed to ensure every vendor is real, authorized, and compliant. It’s fast, secure, and encrypted to the highest industry standards.

🔒 Why Is This Required?

We’re building a trusted community of Black-owned businesses and that starts with authenticity and safety. Verification helps protect:

  • You (from impersonators or fraud)

  • Your customers (by knowing they’re shopping securely)

  • Our platform (keeping it compliant and professional)

Every store must be verified before it can go live. This ensures a level playing field and keeps the marketplace protected for everyone involved.

⚡ Fast & Private — Just 24–48 Business Hours

Here’s what makes this process seamless and safe:

✅ Encrypted & Secure – Stripe uses AES-256 encryption and secure HTTPS to protect your data during transmission.
✅ We NEVER store your information – All sensitive info is handled by Stripe and deleted immediately after verification.
✅ Processed quickly – Most verifications are completed within 24–48 business hours.
✅ We don’t keep any files on our server – It’s a direct, secure exchange between you and Stripe.

🌐 Trusted By Millions
