More than 30,000 Shopify merchants already use it to build trust with shoppers.MIAMI — TrustedSite, the earned certification program that helps online businesses prove they are safe and legitimate, today announced that its trust badge app has earned Built for Shopify status, Shopify’s highest standard for apps in its ecosystem.Built for Shopify is granted to apps that meet Shopify’s highest bar for design, speed, and reliability inside the Shopify admin. Apps must demonstrate that they run cleanly in the admin, load quickly, and deliver measurable merchant value, and they must continue meeting that standard to retain the status.Why trust is harder to earn on an unfamiliar storeGet the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

In TrustedSite’s 2026 State of Ecommerce Trust survey of 1,295 US consumers, 96% of shoppers said they are concerned about buying from sites they have never heard of, compared with 48% for large, established brands. Concern about fake businesses created with AI-generated content reached 94%.Trust badges can help. In the same survey, 82% of shoppers said they are more likely to trust a site that prominently displays a third-party verified trust badge, and 74% said seeing the TrustedSite badge on an unfamiliar site would make them more likely to complete a purchase.“AI has made it easy to build a store that looks convincing, so looking professional no longer proves much to a shopper. Merchants have to work harder to build trust in their brands, and our Shopify app gives them a straightforward way to do it,” said Lisa Dowling, CEO of TrustedSite. “Shopify sets a high bar for the apps that earn Built for Shopify status, and we set one for the sites that earn our badge.”What Built for Shopify means for merchants“For over a decade, we’ve been committed to providing an exceptional experience to Shopify merchants looking to build trust with their visitors,” said Lauren Ladra, Director of Partnerships at TrustedSite. “Our engineers have worked incredibly hard to build an app that fits seamlessly into the Shopify merchant experience. Earning Built for Shopify is a great recognition of that work.”TrustedSite first released its Shopify app in 2014, and more than 30,000 Shopify stores use it today. The app is embedded directly in the Shopify admin, where merchants earn certifications and configure their trust badges without leaving Shopify, and badges can be placed on the storefront using Shopify’s app blocks. Shopify merchants also have access to Carbon-Neutral Shipping, a certification available only on Shopify through an integration with Shopify’s Planet app.Earned trust badges that convertUnlike many trust badge apps, TrustedSite’s badges are earned. Sites are continuously monitored against TrustedSite’s certification standards, and certifications are revoked when a site falls out of compliance. Sites that have tested TrustedSite badges have seen conversion increases as high as 30%.Shopify merchants can add a trust badge and earn their first certifications for free with the TrustedSite app, available on the Shopify App Store.TrustedSite offers an earned certification program for online businesses to help shoppers identify sites that demonstrate good business practices and maintain a high level of safety standards. By earning and displaying the TrustedSite trust badge, sites can show visitors that a reputable third party has verified their business, leading visitors to complete their purchases with confidence.
