Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Everything you need to know

What is Open Badges 3.0?

The global W3C / 1EdTech standard for verifiable digital credentials. Every Meritag badge is a signed Verifiable Credential, readable across the whole ecosystem.

How does offline verification work?

A 33 KB standalone verifier holds the issuer's public key. It checks the badge's Ed25519 signature with no connection at all.

How much does it cost?

A free-forever plan and paid plans in CAD. See the full grid on the Pricing page.

Is my data in Quebec?

Yes: infrastructure hosted in Canada, optional IPFS anchoring and GitHub backup. Law 25 compliant.

Is it Law 27 compliant?

Yes. Psychosocial-risk attestations and mandatory training become signed, verifiable badges — audits become a formality.

Coming from Credly or Certifier?

Your existing badges can be re-issued as signed Open Badges 3.0. Write to us: we map the migration batch by batch.

What if I cancel?

No hostages: your already-issued badges stay verifiable forever via the standalone verifier and the transparency log.

Can I customize my badges?

Yes: Canvas Designer, 20+ templates, custom fonts, AI generation, QR codes and your brand colors.
