verified purchase

Proven buyer status

A verified purchase is a product review or rating from someone confirmed to have actually bought the item through that retailer.

Online marketplaces label reviews this way to distinguish them from potentially fake or incentivized feedback: I only trust reviews from verified purchases.

The designation helps shoppers gauge authenticity, though it doesn't guarantee the review itself is honest.
