Testimonials your customers actually gave.
Anyone can write a glowing review, including a machine. Recado collects testimonials from your customers and shows which ones came from somebody who really bought from you — checked against a payment, an invoice, or an address you already held.
This is it working
A link goes out, somebody writes a couple of lines on their phone, they match it to their payment, and it lands on the wall carrying a mark that says what was checked. The names below are invented.
Why a badge is worth anything
A wall of five-star quotes proves nothing, and everybody knows it. What a reader cannot tell is whether the person existed. So the mark under a Recado testimonial does not say trusted or top rated. It says what was checked, and when:
Verified — what was checked — hide
Payment · £2,400.00 · 9 Mar 2026
You cannot switch that on. There is no field for it — it is worked out from a record of a check that either happened or did not. A testimonial nobody verified is shown plainly as unverified, in the same size and the same place, because a wall that punishes honesty stops being worth reading.

They talked us out of the expensive option, twice. Six weeks later the thing we did build was being used every day.

A business can correct a typo, not a sentence. Every edit is measured against the original, recorded with what changed and when, and the original is kept. Where something was corrected, the wall says so and shows what the customer first wrote.
How it works
- Send a link. Your customer writes a few lines on their phone. No account, nothing to install, and it works with JavaScript switched off.
- They prove it, if they want to. Matching a payment, an order number, or a link sent to the address you already had. Optional, never demanded, and never offered when it cannot succeed.
- You approve it. Nothing appears anywhere until you do, and unpublishing takes it off your website within seconds.
- Two lines on your site. The wall and the embed carry the mark with them.
