This release marks a major milestone for Certifier, bringing immense value to our issuers, their recipients, and any third-party entities allowing for easy acquaintance with an issuer's offerings and the directory of recipients, as well as unifying the recipient experience.${{ section-yellow-start }}⭐ Eager to see the Issuer's Portal in action?

Let’s dive into what the Issuer’s Portal is made of:Issuer’s Profile –&nbsp;the main page from which everything else evolves. It prominently displays information about the issuer, including all relevant links and tabs for credentials and recipient directories.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1728312740/issuers_portal_835eb9d021.png" alt="A screenshot showing the Issuer's profile.">${{ section-blue-start }}💎 We also added the possibility to upload a banner image to elevate the visual look of each issuer’s profile even more.${{ section-blue-end }}Credentials Directory –&nbsp;the page listing all the credentials an issuer offers, with the possibility of opening a particular credential to view detailed information about it.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1728301943/credentials_directory_a2c52a09fd.png" alt="A screenshot showing the Credentials Directory.">Recipients Directory – the page listing all the certified recipients of a particular issuer along with their credentials. The credentials of a single recipient are now prominently presented on a dedicated page. Each recipient is now provided with a dedicated profile that can be accessed from any credential they've been awarded, as well as from the issuer's directory page. This profile conveniently displays the awards of each recipient, allowing for easy access and showcase.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1728302199/recipient_profile_63091cafd7.png" alt="A smiling woman placed in front of her recipient profile. ">${{ section-blue-start }}💎 We also made it possible for the recipients to manage the visibility of their accounts and individual credentials.${{ section-blue-end }}Credential Retrieval Page –&nbsp;the page allowing your recipients to quickly find their credentials, all in one place.Credential Verification Page –&nbsp;the page page allowing for secure verification of credentials to ensure authenticity and build trust.<h2>3 core principles of the Issuer's Portal { 3 Core principles of the Issuer's Portal }</h2>When we set out to develop the Issuer's Portal, our goal was to create a centralized hub that would revolutionize how issuers manage and showcase their credentials and certified recipients.With that vision in mind, the Issuer's Portal is built on three core principles:<h3>1. Dedicated approach and issuer's exclusivity</h3>Unlike other digital credentialing platforms that invite issuers to join a shared marketplace filled with numerous companies offering their learning products, we believe in providing a tailored, exclusive experience for each of our issuers. Each Issuer's Portal is uniquely created and branded for the individual issuer. This means that recipients and visitors only see the credentials, certifications, and achievements associated with that specific issuer, creating a focused and personalized environment.${{ section-yellow-start }}Think of our approach as the Shopify experience: your own store, your own rules, your own branding — rather than being part of an open marketplace like Amazon.${{ section-yellow-end }}<h3>2. Effortless management and full visibility control</h3>We understand that your time is valuable, which is why managing your Issuer’s Portal is incredibly easy and intuitive. The portal is created automatically based on the groups you set up in your Certifier account, as well as the recipients you certified. From the moment you certify a recipient or create a new group, it’s instantly reflected in your portal.You have full control over groups and recipients you want to display or hide. Your recipients can also manage their visibility within your directory and hide their profiles without needing your approval or intervention. Of course, you also retain the power to manage recipient visibility as needed.<h3>3. Promoting lifelong learning and recipient engagement</h3>The Recipients Directory not only highlights the achievements of your certified recipients but also plays a key role in retaining and motivating them. By publicly recognizing their accomplishments and showcasing top learners, the directory inspires recipients to stay in the loop, upskill, and earn more awards. This recognition serves as a powerful motivator, encouraging recipients to pursue additional credentials, stay engaged with your offerings, and continuously enhance their skills.<h2>Conclusion</h2>The introduction of the Issuer's Portal marks a significant step forward in our mission to empower issuers and recipients alike.With our dedicated tailored approach, effortless management, and recipient engagement promotion, Certifier sets a new standard in the digital credentialing landscape.We believe these updates will not only level up how issuers manage and showcase their credentials but also enrich the recipient experience, making it easier for individuals to proudly display their achievements. We’re excited to see how the Issuer's Portal will transform the way you interact with your certifications and look forward to continuing to innovate in ways that support your success.

If you’re using a <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/how-to-create-and-issue-certificates-in-bulk-using-certifier" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">certificate generator</a> to create multiple certificates at once, each one will automatically contain a unique QR code.Simply scan the code with your phone to test it – a successful scan will display a yellow notification and redirect to Google, which should be replaced with your specific link.<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/certifier/image/upload/v1737459782/file_file_b7ea8df6bd.png" alt="Scanning QR code on the certifiacte via the smartphone.">See how to verify a document by QR code in detail with this video:<iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OiqzsNhdh2E?showinfo=0"></iframe><h2>Features of certificate QR codes { Certificate QR codes features }</h2>The modern QR code verification system is more than just a scannable image. It offers secure storage, easy accessibility, and customization options, making the experience seamless for both issuers and recipients.${{ section-blue-start }}🔐 Is a QR code proof of authenticity? Yes, a unique QR code on a certificate can serve as proof of authenticity by linking to a digital verification page that confirms the certificate's legitimacy.${{ section-blue-end }}<h3>Secure storage and verification</h3>The most important feature that you should look for in a certificate QR code generator is secure storage and QR code verification. This ensures that the codes are stored safely and securely while also allowing you to verify the authenticity of the certificates issued easily. Since they act as digital proof, each security measure is crucial here.Many open source have either very low-security protocols or no security at all, making them vulnerable to tampering. Choose a secure platform for generating and storing your certificate QR codes – unless you want to deal with potential security breaches and {{follow-start-url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidarmano/2022/02/16/the-future-of-fraud-how-digital-dependency-creates-infinite-opportunity-for-scammers/ follow-end-url}}forgeries{{follow-end-url-tag}}!<h3>Easy accessibility and sharing</h3>On the other hand, you should also make sure that the platform you choose is easy to use and provides a convenient way for your customers to access their QR code-based certificates. You, as an issuer, should also have access to edit and download certificates in case of issues.Your recipients should also have an option to share certificates with others securely. Certifier is a great example of <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/add-certifications-to-linkedin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">how to add certifications on LinkedIn</a> without much effort on the recipient’s side. It’s the way to encourage recipients to spread the word about your course or training!<h3>Customization options for design and layout</h3>When you think of a single QR code, you probably think of a black-and-white pattern. While this is true, many platforms now offer customization options for the design and layout of your QR code.This means that instead of having to create electronic certificates from scratch every time, you can customize an existing template or design, saving you time and effort in the long run.Your QR code can be personalized with your own text, logos, images, and even colors. Branding it with your company’s colors and logo is a way to go if you want to {{follow-start-url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2021/09/14/15-go-to-tactics-to-expand-brand-awareness/ follow-end-url}}increase brand awareness{{follow-end-url-tag}}. These customization options also mean that you can create certificates for different purposes.<h3>Validity checks and resubmission requirements</h3>QR codes play a role in authentication and validation when it comes to certificates. Allowing you to check the validity of your certificates easily helps prevent fraud, as well as ensuring that all of the information included in the certificate is accurate.Your certificates, in default, should come with a validity check and the option to resubmit them in case of any issues. This ensures that your audience is provided with valid certificates and can help you maintain a good reputation for your <a href="https://certifier.io/blog/certificates-as-a-marketing-tool-for-small-businesses-how-to-use-them" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">business</a>.<h3>Database integration for automation</h3>You might also want your platform to be able to integrate with other databases for automation. This allows you to quickly import certificates from existing databases so that you don't need to enter the information every time. While it's not something that's a must-have for most businesses, it can be helpful if you need to manage a large number of certificates.<h2>Digital certificate QR code over traditional certificates { QR code over traditional certificates }</h2>The traditional method of certificate issuance has been tried and true, but as technology advances, so do the expectations.<h3>Speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in verifying credentials</h3>Let's assume that you have to issue 300 certificates to a group of students. If you are using traditional certificates, it might take you long hours (or weeks) to create and send them all out.Using a QR code, however, takes this time-consuming process down to minutes. You can quickly generate and attach the QR code to each certificate with just a few clicks. There's no need for manual distribution or verification, as the QR code can be used to provide immediate validation of the credentials via scanning the QR code.<h3>Increased security through data encryption</h3>No more worrying about the security of your certificates or diplomas. With a QR code, you can encode private information such as the date of issue and issuer name into the code, which can't be accessed without scanning it first.It goes another way, too. A QR code can be used to validate the authenticity of a certificate. When it comes to physical documents, it isn’t easy to tell if they are valid or not, but with a QR code, it’s possible to verify credentials in just seconds.<h3>Improved accessibility for all certificate holders</h3>Whereas traditional certificates are often difficult to access, a QR code offers an easy solution. It can be scanned by anyone with a mobile device and quickly provide the required information about the document to all interested parties.<h3>Easier to track and manage with digital documentation</h3>In this day and age, having digital records of everything is no longer optional. Add a unique QR code to your certificate or diploma, and you will end up creating an easy-to-track and manage digital documentation system that can be accessed from anywhere with internet access.<h3>Reduced risk of fraudulent activity</h3>Someone completed a certificate course, but the results are in doubt because it's difficult to verify if they are valid or not. With a QR code, you can reduce {{follow-start-url=https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fraudulent-activity follow-end-url}}the risk of fraudulent activity{{follow-end-url-tag}} and protect your business from any potential issues caused by fake certificates. And, since it impacts your reputation too, you simply cannot afford not to do it.<h2>QR code verification: Use cases { Where to use QR codes? }</h2>There are a few industries where certificate QR codes are especially useful. Here are a few examples:${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-start }}Education: Certificates issued to students, teachers, and other professionals in education can use QR codes to ensure the authenticity of certificates: their diplomas, degrees, accreditations, etc. For example, if you run IT consultancy like <a href="https://www.computersinthecity.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Computers in the City</a>, you might want to consider requiring certificates with QR codes from your potential employees.${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-start }}Banking: <a href="https://www.sofi.com/banking/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Banks</a> and financial institutions can use QR codes to send banking information, such as deposit certificates securely.${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-start }}Healthcare: Medical facilities, hospitals, and health authority companies can use QR codes to quickly provide access to medical records and health information (e.g., vaccination details, COVID-19 vaccine dose, and recovery certificate, just to name the recent examples).${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-start }}Online retailers: Online retailers often need to include delivery confirmations or identity verifications with orders. QR codes can make this process easier for both customers and businesses.${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-end }}${{ list-item-checkmark-blue-start }}Government: Governments around the world rely on certificates as a means of identification for citizens.

On July 18, we deployed one of our most requested features – the Full White Label add-on. Together with this feature, we released some other important updates to improve your experience with Certifier. Let us describe them in detail:<h3>Full White Label Add-on 🛠 </h3>The most requested add-on is finally live! With the Full White Label add-on, you can host your certificates on a custom domain (e.g. certificates. yourcompany.com), remove Certifier’s footer from all the emails, and the Distributed by Certifier label from Credsverse. You can now deliver your certificates more professionally than ever.<h3>Promote your events via certificates 🔈</h3>You can now promote your learning event via certification by adding its link to the group. Each certificate issued will have this link in the certificate description section. This will help you promote your event via certification, generate new quality leads, and boost your event page visits!<h3>Visually appealing &amp; more professional sign-in &amp; sign-up&nbsp;💎</h3>To make your experience more pleasing, we’ve redesigned our sign-in and sign-up pages. We’ve also added some minor changes aimed at improving the account setup, password reset, and password confirmation.<h3>Email builder improvements ✉️</h3>We’ve drastically improved the links management in our email builder.
