👑 Issuer's Portal is available for our Advanced plan users.


What is the Issuer's Portal, and why should you use it?

The Issuer's Portal is your own branded space to showcase your organization, credentials, and certified recipients. Here's how it helps you stand out as a professional issuer:

  • Showcase your brand: Use Premium Branding and add your logo, banner, description, and links to your website and social profiles to make a strong first impression.

  • Display your credentials: Your Credentials Directory lets anyone explore your certificates and badges, with detailed views of each one.

  • Promote learning progress with Pathways: Using Pathways? They can be displayed in your Portal – guiding learners through structured journeys and showing their progress. It’s a great way to add value to your credentials.

  • Highlight certified recipients: Your Recipients Directory showcases everyone you’ve certified, with individual profiles listing all their credentials.

  • Boost visibility & trust: Credential Verification and Retrieval Pages make it easy to verify credentials and help recipients find all their awards in one place – building both credibility and convenience.
