Printed Certificates Overview
You can now offer your recipients the option to order high-quality physical versions of their credentials. It’s a simple way to enhance your brand visibility and provide additional value to learners without any manual work on your side.
Certificates are printed using premium materials and advanced printing technology to ensure a professional look and feel. The entire process is fully managed by Certifier, including printing, packaging, shipment, and delivery tracking.
It is a hassle-free way to offer more value to your learners while maintaining a professional experience from start to finish.
Additionally, you can enable Revenue Share to earn money each time a recipient orders a printed certificate.
How to Enable Certificate Printing
You can turn on certificate printing in just a few clicks. To get started:
Go to Settings → Workspace → Printing (direct link here).
Turn on the Certificate Printing toggle.
Use Group Visibility to enable or disable printing for specific groups if needed:
💡 Certifier supports printing only for certificates, not for badges. If a group contains badge designs only, the printing option will work for that group.
Once enabled, recipients will see the “Order printed certificate” button on their credential pages.
How does it work in practice?
When printing is enabled, the “Order printed certificate” button will automatically appear on each issued credential in a few places:
Recipients can click the button to view the price and complete their order:
Once the order is shipped, your recipients receive an email with a tracking code:
Where do we ship?

Revenue Share
👑 Revenue Share is available for Professional plan users and above.
In addition to enabling certificate printing, you can also turn on Revenue Share. This option allows you to earn money each time a recipient completes a purchase.
Revenue Share Model Explained
Certifier applies a baseline production fee of $9.99 USD (covers printing, packaging, and shipping).
You set your own custom retail price for printed certificates.
The amount above $9.99 is split:
30% transaction fee
70% paid to your account
Example
If your retail price is $19.99:
Retail price: $19.99
Minus production fee: $19.99 − $9.99 = $10.00
Split:
30% transaction fee: $3.00
70% to you: $7.00
So for every printed certificate sold, you earn $7.00.
How to Enable the Revenue Share
To enable the revenue share:
Go to Settings → Workspace → Printing (direct link here).
Scroll down to the Revenue Share section.
Click on the “Set up a payout portal” button placed in the yellow alert, and proceed with setting up a payout portal.
The payout portal setup is fully handled by our vendor. The information you’ll be asked to provide depends on:
Your country
Your business type (individual, sole proprietor, company, nonprofit, etc.)
Your local financial regulations
Because of these differences, the fields and steps will vary for each user. Simply follow the instructions and provide the required details to complete the setup.
Once the payout portal is connected, the revenue share will start working automatically:
If you want to set a specific price for particular groups, click “Set price per group”, enable the toggle next to a group for which you want to set a custom price, add the price, and hit “Save”:
How to Withdraw the Revenue Share Earnings
Once Revenue Share is enabled and your Payout Portal is set up, the earnings are transferred to your bank account on a 30-day payout cycle.
Here’s how it works:
We check your available balance once every 30 days.
If funds are available, we'll automatically initiate a payout to your connected bank account.
💡 Note that it is not possible to speed up, delay, or manually trigger a payout.

Smooth, vibrant finish: The gloss coating enhances color depth and sharpness for a professional look.
Display-ready: Ideal for framing, wall mounting, desk display, or portfolio use.
Secure packaging: Each certificate is shipped flat, inside a reinforced protective envelope to prevent bending, creases, or damage during transit.

What happens if a certificate arrives damaged or doesn’t arrive at all?
Certifier fully covers all print and delivery issues.
If a certificate:

Who handles customer support with my recipients?
Certifier handles 100% of print, packaging, delivery, and logistics support. You never need to manage replacement requests, tracking inquiries, or shipping claims — our team resolves everything directly with the recipient.
Do issuers need to handle taxes, receipts, or invoices?
No — all financial processing is handled through our payout vendor. Recipients automatically receive receipts/invoices, and issuers receive revenue share payouts without managing tax collection or operational paperwork.
Does printing affect my digital certificates?
No. Printing is a complementary add-on. Digital certificates remain fully functional, verifiable, and sharable.

How does the Revenue Share model work?
If you enable Revenue Share:
The minimum price remains $9.99
Anything above that is your margin
Your margin is split 70% to you / 30% transaction fee
Example:
If you set your price to $19.99 → your margin is $10 → you earn $7.
Do I need to do anything after enabling the payout portal?
No. Once the payout portal is set up, everything runs automatically. Payouts are made according to Stripe’s schedule, and you can see your earnings anytime.
How can I withdraw the earned funds?
The earnings are sent to your connected bank account automatically on a fixed 30-day schedule. You can't trigger the withdrawal manually.
What if my payout has not arrived yet?
If your balance is visible but not yet transferred, this is expected. Stripe only initiates payouts according to the fixed 30-day schedule, not immediately after earnings appear.
Where can I view my payout history?
You can view all payout records inside the Payout Portal, accessible through the button in the Printing tab.
