If you haven't already, determine your price tier on our pricing page and determine how many recipients you plan to issue.
If you plan to issue certificates and badges to more than 10,000 people a year, contact us so we can help determine your needs. You should feel free to create an account if you haven't done so already, but we can help get you started.
If you think you'll issue to less than 10,000 people a year, you should continue to create an account to begin your account setup and pay for a plan through your account's billing settings.
No matter what size you are, if you have any challenges along the way, our knowledgebase will help answer your questions and you can always contact support from your dashboard if you get stuck.
You can create an account at any time, and make a purchase through your billing settings on the Accredible dashboard.
You can go to this page: https://dashboard.accredible.com/issuer/dashboard/billing/purchase to pay for a plan.
If you require an invoice, please contact support from your Accredible Dashboard.
If you have arranged a contract with Accredible's sales team, we will be in contact to arrange payment.
All Launch plans are billed monthly on an annual commitment. We have more flexibility on payment terms if you are purchasing a Connect or Growth plan.
There are no additional fees (like setup or maintenance) beyond the cost of your plan level and any add-on features you've selected.
Accredible offers one year and multi-year contracts
Issued digital credentials remain active (as long as you have not put an expiration date on them). For cancellations part way through a year, please refer to our Cancellation and Refund policy.
Yes, plans are priced USD. Accredible can provide quotes in AUD, EUR, and GBP upon request.
Whether one has more benefit than the other is really up to your organization. Some organizations prefer the digital certificate because it is more familiar to a traditional certificate. Conversely, some like the badge because it is a more modern "movement". And then, some like using both to get the best of both worlds.
Regardless of how you choose to display your credentials, the primary benefits are that digital credentials (a badge, a cert, or both) cannot be faked, are easily shared with peers, and always display the current information.
Yes. Accredible allows you to upload and display all sorts of custom data on your certificate designs. In this case, you can use your certificate number as a custom attribute on the certificate.
Yes. Make sure your data is available in spreadsheet format and upload it to our system. The spreadsheet upload creation method can handle 100,000 records with a single spreadsheet in one upload. You can queue five different uploads at a time, and those uploads can be for different departments, and apply to multiple groups. With file uploads, Accredible works in the background so you don't need to stay on the upload page, and provides insightful tooltips and downloadable logs once uploads are complete.
If you have an existing certificate design, you're part of the way there. You will need to save the design (without any text or overlaid images like a seal) as an image file. You can use this as the basis for your certificate design on Accredible. You'll need to recreate the text part of your designs on Accredible.
If you are having trouble, or don't have a design to start from, you could enlist the help of an Accredible designer to create and set your design up for you (starting at $100).
Accredible has plug-ins for Canvas, Moodle, and WordPress (Academy theme), and Thinkific, as well as packages for easier development if you're using PHP or Ruby on Rails.
Accredible also has a Zapier integration, which links to over 750 web applications like Salesforce.
Yes. Just because you have an integration set up, you aren't blocked from manually creating credentials for other students. These credentials can be made through the dashboard at any time. They will use the same pool of credential credits, and can even be made in the same groups that credentials are automatically created via integration.
This process will vary quite a bit depending on which software you are integrating with. Start by looking through our list of integrations and make sure that an integration is possible. Then, check our knowledgebase for specific support instructions on setting up your integration.
You can see if the software you use connects to Zapier - this is a convenient way to automate tasks like certificate creation.
If your software isn't on this list, you can also create your own integration using our API.
If you have integrated with Accredible to automatically issue a digital credential, the student would receive an email with a "call to action" to view their certificate. Our certificates are mobile friendly as well, so students can view them on their mobile devices.
Students receive their certificate or badge via email, and are able to login to their credential at any point afterwards using their email address.
You can issue digital certificates and badges to "face-to-face" students by adding them to Accredible the same as with any other credential record; you can add these recipients one at a time OR upload a spreadsheet.
You can issue as many certificates and badges to a person as you'd like.
Each plan limits the number of unique people you can create a certificate or badge for per year.
There are no additional costs to keep the certificate "live" after it is issued. If a certificate expires though, and you need to re-issue a new one, that will require an additional credit.
Yes, you may upgrade to a larger package at any time.
You can send as many certificates and badges to each person as you like, we price based upon the number of unique people you're sending them to.
Sending multiple certificates or badges to '[email protected]' only counts as one credit against your plan's allowance, provided they're sent in the same year in your billing cycle.
You don't pay any on-going carrying fees; existing credentials never count against your allowance.
No. Our agreements clearly state that we’re not able to share your data with any third party that’s not bound by our data privacy agreement and that isn’t named on our data privacy agreement.
You’re always able to remove data you’ve provided to Accredible from our platform.
Yes - we aim to make this as easy as possible. You can export your credential data as a spreadsheet, your analytics data as a spreadsheet, and your certificates as PDFs at any time, and we don’t charge a fee for you to do that.
You can also submit a request at any time to [email protected] if you’d like Accredible to remove data that you’ve provided to our platform.
We will keep your credentials live in perpetuity, so that your credential recipients will be able to retrieve them, and links they’ve received or shared will not break. You can come back to your account at any point and pick up where you’ve left off.
