How it works
How SOFTRE works.
A self-serve, product-led path from sign-up to a live verification badge — typically in under 24 hours.
- 01
Start your free trial
Sign up with your email — no credit card required. Your 30-day trial begins immediately.
- 02
Submit your website
Tell us the domain you want to verify. ShieldMark is domain-locked, so this is where your badge will live.
- 03
Add your business details
Confirm your business name, registered identity, address and authorised representative.
- 04
Verify domain ownership
Add a single TXT record to your DNS so we can confirm you control the site.
- 05
Review trust signals
We review submitted information against available evidence and surface any document gaps.
- 06
Activate ShieldMark
Drop the badge snippet into your website footer. Buyers and partners can now click to verify.
- 07
Publish your proof profile
Your public Business Proof Profile goes live with verified details and a correction request pathway.

Upgrade when ready
After 30 days, move to Starter, Growth or Scale to keep your badge live and unlock more depth.
