# PrestaShop recommended Quality Standards

# Verified+ Badge

The Verified+ badge represents the highest quality standard on the PrestaShop Marketplace. It signals to merchants that a module has passed comprehensive quality checks and meets PrestaShop's most stringent criteria for technical reliability for PrestaShop Store versions 1.7.8 and up.

# What Verified+ Means

# For Merchants:

• Technical reliability - Module works flawlessly across environments
• Security assurance - Zero known vulnerabilities or security risks
• Future compatibility - Guaranteed to work with latest PrestaShop versions (from 1.7.8)
• Safe to use - Strict override policy

# For Developers:

• Quality recognition - Official PrestaShop Marketplace endorsement of technical excellence
• Competitive advantage - Differentiation from standard modules
• Enhanced search visibility - Verified+ modules appear prominently in search results

# 🚨 Verified + Requirements (All Must Pass)

1. Clean Validator Scan - Zero auto-decline issues from PrestaShop Validator
2. Security Compliance - No detected security vulnerabilities
3. Minimal Overrides - Only technically unavoidable overrides permitted
4. PHP Compatibility - Error-free execution on recommended PHP versions for each major PrestaShop Version the module claims to be compatible with (from 1.7.8 and up)
5. Version Compatibility - Works at least with the 2 latest major PrestaShop versions (8.x and 9.x)
6. No Debug Mode errors - No error on Debug Bug verifications for each PrestaShop Version the module claims to be compatible with (from 1.7.8 and up)

# When can you obtain the Verified + Badge ?

You do not need to request the badge. The PrestaShop Validation team assigns the badge during the standard validation process (described in the Validation Workflow section).

For a given submission, if your module covers all the Verified + requirements then it will obtain the badge.

But, keep in mind that if you have received the badge once, and in a future submission your module does not meet all the requirements then the badge will be removed automatically.
