Built on Trust: Why Verification Matters for Lovable Builders

Shipping a product is hard enough without worrying about who is on the other side of the transaction. If you want to sell apps on The Marketplace, you’ve likely noticed our stringent Email and Google OAuth verification process. While it might seem like an extra step, this layer of security is designed to protect your revenue, reduce your support headaches, and ensure that every person buying your code is a legitimate user ready to build.

The Real Cost of Unverified Transactions

In the world of digital goods, fraud isn't just a buzzword; it's a drain on your most precious resource: time. When platforms allow anonymous checkouts or unverified accounts, the seller bears the brunt of the risk. From stolen credit cards to serial refunders who download a template only to dispute the charge five minutes later, the 'open' web can be a minefield for indie hackers. By requiring Google OAuth, we create a digital paper trail that deters bad actors before they even see your 'Purchase' button.

Verification acts as a filter. It ensures that the person accessing your proprietary Lovable templates or SaaS starters has a verified identity, which significantly lowers the likelihood of malicious chargebacks.

How Verified Accounts Cut Your Support Load

Ask any seasoned developer: 80% of support tickets come from 20% of users—usually the ones who can't find their login credentials or used a burner email address. When you use The Marketplace, Google OAuth ensures that users are tied to a persistent, reachable identity. This means instant license delivery actually works because the email address is guaranteed to be valid.

Real Scenario: The 'Hit and Run' Hunter

Take Alex, a Lovable developer who recently shipped a complex CRM template. On a previous unverified platform, Alex saw three chargebacks in his first month from users who used temporary '10-minute mail' addresses. After migrating to The Marketplace, those 'phantom' buyers disappeared. Because our system requires a verified Google or Email identity, the friction for fraudsters became too high, while the experience for legitimate buyers remained seamless. Alex spent zero minutes on disputes last month and 100% of his time building his next feature.

Before The Marketplace

Scattered files across Google Drive, manually sending license keys, and losing 30% of revenue to high platform fees and fraudulent chargebacks.

With The Marketplace

One-click deployments, automated license delivery, verified buyer pools, and keeping up to 90% of every sale with real-time analytics.

A Better Experience for Buyers and Sellers

Trust is a two-way street. Buyers are more likely to spend money when they see a platform takes security seriously. When they see the Google OAuth prompt, they know they aren't just sending money into a black hole. They are entering a curated ecosystem where quality is checked and identities are real. You can even see it live — no signup required to browse the current verified listings.
