Badges are collectible emblems members earn once and keep. There’s nothing to redeem: the moment a badge is earned it lands in the member’s collection, no codes or claim step involved.

Creating a badge

Pick Badge in the type picker. Because badges have nothing to supply, redeem, or fulfil, the wizard slims to three steps:
Badge Basic Information step with the three-step sidebar

The badge wizard: just Basic Information, Dates, and Advanced Settings.

Basic Information

Badge Image (1:1 aspect ratio, ideally 512 x 512px, cropped as a rounded square), plus the required title and description. PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP. The Featured toggle is available; Spotlight isn’t (badges award themselves, so there’s nothing to spotlight for claiming).

Dates

Just the Earning Window (start and end). No redeem-by deadline exists for badges.

Advanced Settings

Tags, accent color, template settings, metadata, and a dark-mode image variant.

A badge's Dates step: the earning window only.

Supply is handled for you: badges are created with unlimited supply, capped at one per member. Rarity comes from how hard the badge is to earn, not from scarcity.

How members earn a badge

  • Challenges - attach the badge on a challenge’s Distribution step.
  • Achievements - the classic path: attach it on an achievement’s Rewards step so it marks a milestone.
  • The shop - badges can be listed in the Reward Store for a points price (quantity is fixed at one).
  • Gifting - hand one to specific members via Gift Rewards.
However it’s earned, the badge auto-awards instantly - the member sees it in their collection right away.
Live badges aren’t secret. Members can see every live badge as a locked, grayscale entry in their profile and wallet galleries before earning it. That’s great for aspiration, but don’t publish a surprise badge until you want it teased.

Where badges display

  • The member profile page (badges carousel) and the dedicated Badges page in the member app.
  • The widget profile drawer: an earned/total count plus a badge grid, with unearned badges in grayscale.
  • The widget wallet has a badges section and filter.
  • Earning a badge from a challenge triggers a badge unlock celebration in the completion flow.
Give badges clear, descriptive titles - the title doubles as the image’s screen-reader text, and it’s the label members see everywhere the badge appears.

Badge analytics

A badge’s Stats page works like any reward’s: the Overview shows the claim funnel and a Claims Timeline, the Users tab lists every holder, and the config chips mark it as a Digital Badge. (A Fulfilment tab renders too, but badges never collect fulfilment details, so it stays empty.)

Tiered badge design

Create a series of escalating badges to give members a ladder to climb: Use achievements as actions to gate each tier behind the previous one.
