MFi (Made for iPhone) certification flags per SKU, how do they show up?

MFi cert isn’t just a badge, it’s a sales gate. Apple, Amazon (in the Apple-only category), and Walmart all gate non-MFi listings. Customers searching “MFi lightning cable” expect a badge they can trust.

Implementation on Magento:

• Boolean product attribute is_mfi_certified + a text attribute mfi_cert_number (Apple issues each MFi product a serial; print it on the listing).
• Swatch badge on PDP, row of cert icons (MFi, USB-IF, Qi2, FCC Part 15, Apple Self Service Repair compatible). Each badge has a tooltip explaining what the cert means and links to Apple’s MFi registry.
• Layered nav filter, “MFi only” toggle on category pages. Same query Amazon uses internally.
• Cert expiration tracking, MFi certs are valid for the SKU lifecycle but Apple can revoke. Custom admin module tracks renewal dates; lapsed certs auto-hide the SKU and email the merchandiser.
• Apple Self Service Repair flag, separate attribute. Apple’s SSR program (launched 2022) lets customers buy genuine Apple parts. Accessories compatible with SSR (e.g. iFixit-style repair toolkits, MagSafe-compliant adhesives) flag with their own badge.

The Apple MFi vetting process: ~$99 application fee, 8-12 weeks technical review, ~$0.10, $1.00 per-unit royalty depending on category. Not optional if you want the “Made for iPhone” mark.
