Default Certificates in Courses & Category Completion Certificate

With Stack's latest update, setting up certificates has become more streamlined. Now, every new course automatically includes a course completion certificate by default, ensuring learners receive a credential upon finishing. Additionally, the new category completion certificate feature allows certificates to be awarded for completing a specific section of a course.

Key Benefits​

  • Automated Course Certificates: Every new course includes a default completion certificate, reducing the need for manual setup.
  • Flexible Certificate Management: You can delete or draft default course completion certificates if they're not needed.
  • Seamless Integration: Attach both default and custom certificates directly within the course builder.
  • Category Recognition: Award certificates for completing an entire category within a course.

How to Use Default Course Completion Certificates​

Accessing Default Certificates​

  1. Log in to your Stack account.
  2. Navigate to Courses under Memberships and create a new product.
  3. A default course completion certificate is automatically included.

Managing Default Certificates​

Attaching a Certificate Template​

  1. Click on the settings icon (three dots) under the Course Completion Certificate section.
  2. Select Edit Certificate or Choose Certificate.
  3. Attach the preferred template to the course.

To Delete or Draft a Default Certificate​

How to Use Category Completion Certificates​

Enabling Category Completion Certificates​

How It Works​

  • The category completion certificate appears as the final lesson in the category preview.
  • The certificate is automatically awarded when all required lessons in the category are completed.
  • Category certificates cannot be moved; they always remain at the end of the category.

Note: Certificates will be triggered only once the course or section is 100% complete.
