Verified Rights Owner Program

Protect your IP rights and make sure you’re compliant on ShoppingToday.com.

What is the Verified Rights Owner Program?

The Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program allows owners of intellectual property (IP) rights and their authorized representatives to report ShoppingToday.com listings that may infringe on those rights. VeRO embodies our commitment to provide a safe place to buy and sell, which respects property owners’ rights.
