Browsing with confidence

Webopolis verifies the identity of the businesses on the platform — company registration number and domain ownership — before they go live, and runs checks to limit impersonation and fraud attempts. Still, no system removes that risk entirely. As on any site you come across on the web, a few simple habits keep browsing safe.

Before entering personal or payment details

• Check that the site address (the URL in your browser bar) really matches the shop you think you are visiting.
• Make sure the site uses HTTPS — the padlock must be present in the address bar.
• Be wary of unusually low prices and offers that seem too good to be true.

If in doubt

• Never share a password or a card security code in response to an unsolicited email or message.
• Search the shop’s name online (reviews, reputation) before a first purchase.
• Prefer a secure payment method — card with 3-D Secure, PayPal — over a direct bank transfer for a first order.
