## Four steps to verified

1. **Join as a registered business**: Every developer on ErdiBuilds is a registered business, and sole traders count too. You add your legal name, country and tax details during onboarding.
2. **Show what you've shipped**: Add the apps, SaaS products, websites and games you have built. A live link and proof that the work is yours, such as an App Store Connect screenshot or the GitHub repository, make the review quick.
3. **We review your profile**: A person at ErdiBuilds checks your profile and your proof of past work by hand. If something is missing, we tell you what we need, and you update your profile. We email you as soon as the review is done.
4. **Confirm your identity with Stripe**: When you set up payouts, Stripe confirms your identity and your payout account. Once you are approved and your payouts are set up, you can send proposals.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I browse projects while my profile is under review?

Yes. You can browse projects while we review your profile. Sending proposals unlocks once you are approved and your payouts are set up.

### What counts as proof of my work?

A live app, website or game, together with something that shows you built it: an App Store Connect screenshot, the GitHub repository, or a short video call with us.

### What does the Verified project badge mean?

At least one project in your portfolio has been checked by us. The badge shows next to your name on your public profile.

### What happens if you need more information?

Your dashboard shows what we need. Update your profile, and it goes back into the review.

### Can I show GitHub activity or app numbers?

Yes, both are optional. Connect GitHub to show your public repositories and languages. For each app you can add downloads, users or revenue as ranges and decide whether they are shown. Only we can mark revenue as verified.
