Add-On Overview & Features

The add-on adds value and validity to your student’s achievements by allowing information on LearnDash certificates to be verified directly on your site. Allowing your students to view and share detailed information about earned certificates to confirm the veracity of their credentials. Thus, they can use their certificates as evidence of their knowledge and skills.

Being able to share their certificates with family, friends and coworkers boost the sense of achievement and accomplishment that students get when completing a course or quiz.

Add-On Overview & Features

An eLearning platform running on LearnDash came to us with a real problem: their students were earning certificates, but those certificates had no way to be verified or shared professionally. Employers and connections on LinkedIn had no way to confirm if the certificate was real. The platform was losing student trust — and students had no motivation to complete courses because the achievement felt invisible.

THE CHALLENGE

 

  • Students couldn’t share certificates on professional or social platforms

  • There was no verification system — anyone could fake a certificate

  • Course completion rates were low because students felt their effort went unrecognized

  • The platform had no branded, customizable email notifications to celebrate achievements

CLIENT QUOTE

Before this add-on, our certificates were just images. Now they're real credentials our students actually use on their LinkedIn profiles. It's changed how our students value course completion.(eLearning, USA)

THE SOLUTION & RESULTS


AR Webcrafts built a fully custom WordPress add-on deeply integrated with LearnDash. We created a dedicated Certificate Verification Page on the client’s own website — no third-party service needed. Each certificate gets a unique ID and QR Code (via shortcode) so anyone, anywhere, can scan or search to confirm a certificate is genuine. We also built one-click LinkedIn integration so students can add their certificates directly to their LinkedIn profiles, giving real professional value to course completion.

Find And Verify Certificates Directly On Your Site

Add a verification page on your site, where students can directly find any certificate’s verification information by entering their unique certificate ID on the search field. You can display the unique certificate ID in certificates using a shortcode.

Allow Students To Share Their Achievements On Social Networks

Students can share an image of their certificate as well as a link to the certificate’s verification page as posts on their Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
