Your Expert Badge reflects your level of commitment and performance within the PrestaShop ecosystem.
It directly depends on your score, which is automatically calculated based on objective criteria: merchant activity, adoption of PrestaShop solutions, certifications, and engagement in the program.
Here is how to concretely improve your badge.
Understanding the link between Score and Badge
Your badge evolves based on:
Your overall score
Your status in the Experts program
Respecting the certification conditions (at least 1 active certified developer to be a "Certified Member")
⚠️ Only your status is publicly visible in the directory.
The details of your score remain confidential.

With the new model:
The certification is individual and nominative.

The agency must have at least one active certified Core developer.
Why is it strategic?

250 points per active certification purchased (excluding attempts included in the subscription).
Better technical credibility in the directory.
The more certified developers you have, the more your expertise is valued.
Develop your merchant portfolio.
