All 30 features
Each one has its own page with what it does, how to set it up, and the questions people ask.
Badge Designer
Create professional digital badges with your own logo, colors, and branding. Upload custom badge images or design from scratch with the built-in badge editor.
Certificate Designer
Design professional certificates with the visual drag-and-drop certificate designer. Add text, images, shapes, and dynamic fields that auto-populate with recipient data.
Badge Templates
Choose from professionally designed badge templates to get started quickly. Each template is fully customizable with your own branding, colors, and content.
Custom Fields
Define custom fields for any additional data you need on your badges and certificates. Custom fields appear on the public verification page and can be used as dynamic placeholders in certificate designs.
Recipient Photo
Include recipient photos on certificates for added personalization and verification. Upload photos individually or in bulk, and place them anywhere on the certificate using the drag-and-drop designer.
QR Code Verification
Every certificate includes a unique QR code that links to the public verification page. Anyone can scan the QR code to instantly verify the authenticity of the credential.
Bulk Certificate Generator
Issue hundreds or thousands of badges and certificates at once. Upload a CSV or Excel file with recipient data, and IssueBadge generates individual certificates and sends personalized emails to every recipient.
CSV & Excel Import
Import recipient data directly from CSV and Excel spreadsheets. Map columns to badge fields, include custom data, and issue personalized badges to everyone in your list.
Single Badge Issuance
Issue a badge to a single recipient by entering their details in a simple form. Enter the recipient name, email, and any custom field values, then issue with one click.
Custom SMTP Server
Configure your own SMTP server so badge emails are sent from your email address and domain. This improves email deliverability and brand trust, with recipients seeing your organization as the sender.
Reply-To Email Configuration
Set a Reply-To email address so that when badge recipients click Reply on their badge email, the response goes directly to your team instead of the system email address.
Email Delivery & Bounce Tracking
Monitor the delivery status of every badge email. See which emails were delivered, which bounced, and which were marked as spam. Get notified when bounces occur and view delivery health in a dedicated dashboard.
Open Badges 2.0 & 3.0
Issue digital credentials that follow the Open Badges standard (versions 2.0 and 3.0) by 1EdTech. Open Badges are portable, verifiable, and recognized across platforms and institutions worldwide.
Public Verification Page
Every issued badge gets a unique public URL where anyone can verify the credential. The page displays badge details, issuer information, recipient data, and a verification status — no login required.
Badge Revocation & Expiration
Maintain credential integrity by revoking badges that should no longer be valid, or setting expiration dates for time-limited certifications. Revoked and expired badges are clearly marked on their verification pages.
Webhook Integration
Use webhooks to automatically trigger badge issuance from external events. When something happens in your system (course completed, training passed, event attended), a webhook can tell IssueBadge to issue the badge automatically.
LMS Integration
Connect IssueBadge with popular LMS platforms including Moodle, Canvas, Google Classroom, and Teachable. Automatically issue badges when learners complete courses or achieve milestones.
REST API
Build custom integrations with the IssueBadge REST API. Create badges, issue credentials, manage recipients, and retrieve data programmatically. Full API documentation with code examples.
Zapier Integration
Connect IssueBadge to thousands of apps through Zapier. Create automated workflows (Zaps) that issue badges when events occur in other tools — Google Forms, Typeform, Eventbrite, Slack, and more.
Zoom Integration
Connect your Zoom account to automatically import meeting participants and issue attendance badges and certificates. Track who attended your webinars, training sessions, and meetings.
Badge Reporting & Analytics
Monitor your credentialing program with reporting and analytics. Track how many badges have been issued, view issuance trends, and get insights into your credential programs.
Multi-Organization Management
Create and manage multiple issuing organizations under a single account. Each organization has its own badges, SMTP settings, branding, and certificate designs — all managed from one dashboard.
Learning Pathways
Create structured learning pathways that guide earners through a sequence of badges. Define prerequisites and progression so earners can work toward higher-level credentials by completing required badges.
Business Tools Suite
IssueBadge provides a full suite of business tools for managing your digital credentialing program — from badge design and issuance to email management, organization settings, and compliance tracking.
White Label Platform
White label IssueBadge to run the platform under your own brand, domain, and visual identity. Your users see your brand throughout the experience — from the dashboard to the verification pages.
Partner Directory
Showcase your partner organizations in a public directory. Partners are displayed with their logos, descriptions, and links, providing visibility and credibility for your credential ecosystem.
Team & Role Management
Invite team members and assign roles to control who can create badges, issue credentials, manage settings, and access different parts of the platform.
Social Media Sharing
Recipients can share their digital badges on social media platforms including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Shared badges link back to the verification page for instant credibility.
LinkedIn Badge Sharing
Recipients can add their IssueBadge credentials to their LinkedIn profile, making them visible to recruiters, employers, and professional connections. Each LinkedIn badge links to the verification page.
No Account Required
Badge recipients can view, download, share, and verify their credentials without creating an IssueBadge account. Everything works through the public verification page link sent in their badge email.

Questions people ask about the features
- Are all features included in every plan?
- Yes. Every plan, including the Lifetime plans, has every feature on this page. Plans differ by volume (1,000 badges issued a month on the standard plan), not by what you can do.
- Do recipients need an IssueBadge account?
- No. A recipient gets an email, opens the certificate, verifies it by QR code or link, and shares it. There is nothing to sign up for.
- Is IssueBadge Open Badges compliant?
- Yes. Badge metadata (issuer, criteria, skills, evidence, alignment) follows the 1EdTech Open Badges 2.0 and 3.0 specifications, so badges are portable to other compliant platforms.
- Which learning management systems does it work with?
- Canvas and Moodle install IssueBadge natively as an LTI 1.3 tool. Teachable, Thinkific, Google Classroom and others connect through Zapier or Make, and there is a REST API and webhooks for anything custom.
- Can I run it under my own brand?
- Yes. White label puts your name, logo and domain on certificates, emails and verification pages, with no IssueBadge branding.
- Is there an API?
- Yes. A REST API with API keys and OAuth 2.0, webhooks for issue, view and revoke events, a Zapier app, Make modules and a Postman collection. Documentation is at /h/developer.
