Maximum Safety for Buyers and Sellers

We care deeply about safety and security. That’s why we have set up verification processes for both buyers and sellers alike.

By completing a general verification process, you’ll be able to make full use of our platform’s functionality. 

We require this verification because whisky contains alcohol and for good reasons, it is illegal to sell alcohol to minors. We need to make sure that our platform is not used improperly. Aside from legal requirements, sellers also deserve the assurance that they are participating in a proper, legal transaction. 

We require this basic verification from everyone on our platform, buyers and sellers alike. 

Unlock Verified Seller Status

In recent years, new legal requirements were implemented regarding online trade and transactions. It has become increasingly harder to remain anonymous and under the radar of tax authorities. This has brought new challenges to everyone involved. 

WannaWhisky was made to make things easier for both buyers and sellers of whisky alike. We have developed a verification process that is fully compliant with recent international legal requirements and that unburdens you as well. 

Once you have received Verified Seller status, your profile will always be shown with a verified badge to signal your commitment to trust to other users on the platform. Re-verification is an annual requirement and will be a simplified, reduced version of the process outlined below.
