We find many online businesses use the free or paid "security seals" that come from GeoTrust, Verisign and other known names in the SSL certificate industry when you purchase a regular SSL certificate from them (so you can use https:// for secure sections of your website like payment pages). Many businesses remain unaware of the fundamental differences between an "SSL certificate seal" given from SSL certificate providers, and a genuine certified Security Verification seal from BuyerShield.

So what is the difference between BuyerShield vs Verisign / GeoTrust / Comodo / other?

The difference is our seals are only awarded after we manually check and verify online businesses against fraud and then again against the individual requirements of each of our certificated seals. The seals from SSL providers simply indicate that a business paid for SSL encryption on their website (even popular domain registrar GoDaddy.com has jumped in). This is making it incredibly attractive for scammers as most / all "bad website checks" are computer-automated and easy to bypass; meaning even someone from a prison cell can get an SSL certificate and corresponding seal.

>> The differences between a https:// SSL certificate and an SSL certification seal

• An SSL certificate is a key that you enter into your web hosting settings that allows you to validly use the https:// protocol. (e.g. https://website.com/checkout/)
• An "SSL certification seal" is a clickable web seal that you display on your website to demonstrate you have an SSL certificate (https://).

Some domain registrars even give website SSL certificates away for free if you purchase a .com domain name from them! Disturbingly, this means scammers and fraudsters are easily able to get SSL certificates and can even display an "SSL certification seal" on their fraudulent websites.

Associating yourself with seals that many scammers use is bad business.

Buyers are rapidly discovering this fact through media and online discussion forums, and have stopped considering these seals trustworthy when purchasing since they are relatively "easy" to obtain and make it impossible for buyers to tell fraudsters and genuine sellers apart.

Your customers will never see a scammer with a genuine BuyerShield seal.

BuyerShield doesn't give away seals for profit

Certifications by BuyerShield are handed to businesses after they pass our manual verfications - and your buyers will know it when they click on your BuyerShield certified seal.

It's easy for website owners to apply for a seal and become certified in the BuyerShield round table, but we take our role seriously and no one can simply "buy" their way into certification from BuyerShield.com.

Business owners enjoy the sound benefits of our strict code since we make sure to mention the tests we have performed on your business and website are visible on your clickable seal. And because sites that are entered into our membership are quality websites genuinely running a legitimate business, the benefits of being recognised by BuyerShield are impressive.

SSL suppliers like Verisign / GeoTrust / Comodo etc cannot accurately offer what we offer this because they rely on automated processes. If a buyer clicks on a regular "SSL certificate seal" from an SSL certificate provider, they'll never see any solid backings on the website displaying their seal. It's only possible with a manual, human-staffed expert verification - which is exactly what BuyerShield does.

Secondly, improving buyer trust and sales conversion is BuyerShield's core business. We are experts and have a team dedicated to it every day whereas realistically it is only a secondary extra for SSL providers and even some (now) domain registrars as it gives them a secondary form of income in the increasingly difficult SSL / domain name industry where profit margins are razor thin.

Don't pay exorbitant once-off yearly fees or risk reputation damage. Our professional brand and user interface specialists have designed and repeatedly tested our seals with many regular Internet buyers to ensure maximum conversions for your website.
