    How to Verify a Genuine Software Reseller Before You Pay

    11 August 2026

    Cheap software sellers are everywhere and most of the horror stories are avoidable. Use this checklist on any seller — including us.

    The seven checks

    1. A working, public contact channel. A phone number or WhatsApp that answers before you pay, not just a form.
    2. A public address and business identity. Anonymous sellers have nothing to lose by disappearing.
    3. Written refund and warranty terms. On the website, not typed into a chat window. Ours are on the refund policy page.
    4. Proof of past deliveries. Ask for screenshots of the exact product you want. We publish ours publicly on the reviews page.
    5. Clarity on what you receive. Private, shared or activated on your own email — a genuine seller states this before payment. See shared vs private accounts.
    6. A traceable payment method. UPI or card through a gateway leaves a record. Be careful with anonymous transfers to personal wallets.
    7. A small first order. Test the delivery time and support yourself before spending big.

    Red flags

    • Pressure to pay in the next few minutes for a "last slot".
    • Refusal to answer what type of account you are getting.
    • Prices far below every other seller with no explanation of why.
    • No refund policy anywhere on the site.
    • Support that goes quiet the moment you ask a specific question.
