1. I.D verification: GunDogsDirect will integrate the Stripe ID process to eliminate scammers and fraudulent advertisers. This process will require you to provide a picture of your Drivers License or Passport, taking approximately 30 seconds to complete. Once verified, an icon will be displayed on your advertisement(s), assuring customers that you have undergone verification. This instills confidence and peace of mind for customers interested in purchasing your working dogs. The verification process is a one-time requirement, and your details will be securely stored in our system. Additionally, this feature enables you to receive payments from customers using the Stripe Escrow Service. After a customer contacts you and views the dog(s) in question, they can make a safe and secure payment in full using Stripe. The funds will be held until the day of collection, at which point the customer can release the funds directly to your bank account. This service is provided free of charge to all our breeders and sellers.

2. Accounts: GunDogsDirect will transition to login accounts and remove the email edit links. Customers with existing advertisements at the time of this change will be given accounts based on their email address and a password. Upon logging in, users will have access to additional functions to manage their own advertisements, including improved image uploads and more control over their listings.

Lastly GunDogsDirect will be here to support you through the change, so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact info@gundogsdirect.co.uk
