Your Expert Badge reflects your level of engagement 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’s 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
Compliance with certification requirements (at least 1 active certified developer to be “Certified Member”)
⚠️ Only your status is publicly visible in the directory.
The details of your score remain confidential.
1. Certify Your Developers
With the new model:
Certification is individual and nominative
It is valid for 24 months
The agency must have at least one active certified Core developer
Why is it strategic?
Mandatory condition to obtain or retain the Certified Member badge
250 points per active certification purchased (excluding the attempt included in the subscription)
Stronger technical credibility in the directory
The more certified developers you have, the more your expertise is valued.
2. Grow Your Merchant Portfolio
Your actual activity has a direct impact on your score.
Associate merchant URLs
1 URL = 20 points
Increase store GMV
1 point for every €2,000 in GMV (CloudSync activated)
An active and high-performing portfolio strengthens your positioning.
3. Activate PrestaShop Solutions for Your Merchants
Adoption of PrestaShop products significantly contributes to your score.
Marketplace (including Business Care)
€3 spent = 1 point
PrestaShop Checkout
€250 GMV = 1 point
PrestaShop Hosting
€3 = 1 point
PrestaShop Social
€3 = 1 point
PrestaShop Shipping
€3 = 1 point
+100 points for each new merchant activated in 2025
Stripe (new activations since April 1, 2025)
€300 = 1 point
The more your merchants use the PrestaShop ecosystem, the more your score increases.
4. Participate in PrestaShop Events
Your involvement in the ecosystem also matters.
Event & Sponsorship (PrestaShop events only)
€1 invested = 1 point
Participating in or sponsoring official events directly contributes to your score.
5. Work on Strategic Projects
PrestaShop Enterprise
1,000 points per month for each active and invoiced project
Enterprise projects have a major impact on your badge.
6. Maintain Long-Term Engagement
Active annual subscription
1,000 points
Loyalty
350 points per full year with an active subscription
Consistency is rewarded.
Best Practices to Progress Quickly
Certify at least one developer as soon as possible
