In this article, we explain how to achieve different badge levels: EXPERT, EXPERT ✭, EXPERT ✭✭, and EXPERT ✭✭✭.
Reminder of the Scoring System:
Here’s how to accumulate the points necessary to reach each level:
EXPERT Badge (100 points minimum)
The EXPERT badge is the first and easiest level to achieve. Here are some simple actions to quickly accumulate 100 points:
- Add merchant URLs: Each URL added earns 20 points. By declaring at least 5 merchant URLs, you’ll already have your first 100 points!
EXPERT ✭ Badge (500 points minimum)
The EXPERT ✭ badge requires a bit more effort. Here are some possible combinations to reach 500 points:
- Add merchant URLs: Adding 5 merchant URLs already gives you 100 points.
- Purchase addons or subscribe to Built For: Spending a minimum of €180 per URL on addons or Built For will earn you 300 points.
- Add merchants with PrestaShop Shipping: Each merchant you add with PrestaShop Shipping earns you 100 points. Add 1 or 2 new merchants to accumulate an additional 100-200 points.
- Certifications: If you obtain a certification, you can directly earn 1,000 points, which is far more than required for this badge!
EXPERT ✭✭ Badge (2,000 points minimum)
The EXPERT ✭✭ badge represents an advanced level. To achieve it, you will need to combine several actions:
- Get a certification: A Certification & Visibility pack gives you 1,000 points, making it easier to reach 2,000 points.
- Add merchant URLs: Add 5 more merchant URLs to earn 200 points.
- Add merchants with PrestaShop Shipping: Each new merchant with PrestaShop Shipping earns you 100 points. Add as many merchants as possible to complete the remaining 2,000 points.

Important Points to Know:
- Declaring 5 merchant URLs: To join the Expert program, you must declare a minimum of 5 merchant URLs. These URLs validate your participation and allow you to start accumulating points in the program.
- Point reset every year: On January 1 of each year, the point system resets to 0 points. This means the points accumulated in the previous year will not carry over. You will start each year with a new counter.
- Displaying the score based on last year's activities: You can view your score based on your activities from the previous year (N-1), as well as a projection of your score for the current year (N). The badge you receive will be based on your highest score, whether it’s for the year N-1 or N.
