"As operators of our own online shop, we receive daily calls from consumers who wanted to order in Switzerland – but were deceived by shops with a .ch domain and are now having problems with their order. That's what motivated me to create «Echter Schweizer Onlineshop»: a quality seal that makes genuine Swiss shops visible and protects consumers from exactly this kind of deception."
The Company
«Echter Schweizer Onlineshop» is a project of arvadis GmbH based in Lenzburg, Canton of Aargau. The company is registered in the Swiss Commercial Register under CHE-112.525.913.
The quality seal was launched in 2025 to give consumers a reliable guarantee: where this seal is displayed, there is a genuine Swiss company behind it – with headquarters, employees, and shipping in Switzerland.
Our Journey
Born from the daily reality of running a Swiss online shop: the idea for a quality seal that gives genuine Swiss merchants visibility and consumers confidence.
Quality seal launched – first Swiss online shops certified and verifiable for consumers.
Growing community of certified shops and increasing trust among Swiss consumers.
Trust starts with transparency
Whether you're a shop operator or a journalist – we look forward to connecting.
