The certificate

An engraved diploma, in your colors.

Each certificate is a downloadable PDF on one professionally designed template — clean engraved type, a ruled border, and the details that matter. It carries your brand from the first glance.

  • Your logo, set as the masthead

    Upload your store logo and it sits at the top of every certificate you issue.

  • Your brand color as the ink

    Set one accent color and it threads through the border, rules, and seal — so the diploma reads as yours, not a template.

  • Your signature

    Set the signer's name and upload their signature image. It signs every diploma you issue, automatically.

  • Your store name & the overall score

    Your store's name heads every certificate. When the course includes graded work, the overall score is printed too — frozen at the moment the certificate is claimed.

Earned the moment the work is done.

There's nothing for you to send. When a student reaches the finish line, the certificate is waiting to be claimed — in the name they want printed on it.

Step 1

They finish the course

The student completes every lesson — and passes the final exam, if you've set one to gate the certificate. The moment they qualify, the claim button appears in their portal.

Step 2

They claim it in their name

The student types the exact name they want printed on the diploma. They can change it later — the certificate number never changes, so shared links keep working.

Step 3

They download the PDF

The branded certificate is generated with their name, the date, and the score — ready to print, frame, or share, with the verification link printed in the PDF footer.

Certificates are a per-course setting — you decide which courses award one, and whether the final exam gates it. See how courses work.

Included

Free

Turn certificates on for a course and every graduate gets one at no extra charge.

Optional

Paid certificate

You set it

Charge for the credential itself. A buy button appears on the completion page once the student has earned it.

Free or paid

Give it away, or make it a product.

Certificates are a per-course switch. Leave it on and include the diploma with the course, or charge for it — useful when the credential itself is the thing people want.

  • Toggle certificates on or off per course.
  • Set a price and Chapters creates a hidden Shopify product for it — it never clutters your catalog.
  • The buy button shows on the completion page, only to students who qualify.
  • Sales run through your normal Shopify checkout, under the same 5% commission capped at $29 a month.

Free until you sell. 5% after. Never more than $29 a month.

Public verification

A credential anyone can check.

Every certificate carries a unique number and a public verification page. An employer, an admissions office, or anyone holding the PDF can open it and confirm the credential is real — no account, no login.

  • A unique certificate number on every diploma you issue.
  • The page shows the essentials — student name, credential, score, and date issued.
  • The verify link is printed in the PDF footer — whoever holds the certificate holds the proof.
  • A number-lookup page too — no link needed; type any certificate number in and check it.
  • No sign-in required to confirm a certificate is genuine.

Good to know

A few honest details.

So you know exactly what you're getting before you switch certificates on.

Rename without reissuing

Students can update the printed name after claiming. The certificate number stays the same, so any link already shared keeps verifying.

One template, done well

The engraved layout is one professionally designed template. What changes is yours: logo, brand color, store name, signer, and signature.

The score is frozen

The overall score is captured at the moment the certificate is claimed and printed on the PDF. It doesn't change afterward.

Pairs well with

Certificates are the finishing touch.

They round out a course or an exam. Here's where they fit.
