Trust on the road
The CarniFete Verified Standard
The Verified badge helps masqueraders identify businesses that have completed CarniFete’s Business Readiness Check and meet our baseline trust standard.
The 4 readiness questions
Verification is based on these plain-language checks.
Payment readiness
The business confirms it has, or is ready to create, the Stripe account needed to receive payments safely through CarniFete.
Online presence
The business confirms it maintains an official website, Instagram, Facebook, or similar public presence that helps masqueraders verify legitimacy.
Community standards
The business agrees to uphold CarniFete community guidelines, ethical business practices, and fair treatment of masqueraders.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Verified badge guarantee every transaction?
No. The badge means the business has met CarniFete’s Verified Standard based on the four readiness questions and platform review. Masqueraders should still review event, costume, and vendor details before purchasing.
Can a business lose verification?
Yes. CarniFete may remove verification if a business no longer meets the standard or violates community guidelines.
Do non-verified businesses get labeled as unverified?
No. If a business is not verified, CarniFete simply shows no badge.
