# Certifications

**Where to find it:** Settings → Certifications

Certifications are official documents that prove your business meets certain standards. Uploading them publicly signals to customers that your business operates with transparency and accountability.

Common examples include:

* Organic certification
* Food Safe certificate
* Halal or Kosher certification
* Farm inspection reports
* Health authority permits

***

## Adding a certification

1. Type the **certificate name** in the text field (e.g., "Organic Certified", "Food Safe Level 1")
2. Choose your upload format:
   * **Upload PDF file** — for official scanned documents
   * **Upload media** — for photos taken of physical certificates
3. The uploaded file will preview on screen so you can confirm it looks right
4. Tap **Add** to save the certification to your store profile

A success message will confirm the certificate was uploaded.

***

## Viewing your certifications

All uploaded certifications are listed below the upload section. Each entry shows:

* A **thumbnail** — image preview or a PDF icon for document files
* The **certificate name**
* A **type badge** showing whether it is an image (`img`) or a document (`pdf`)

***

## Removing a certification

Tap the **delete icon** (trash bin) next to any certification to remove it. A confirmation dialog will appear before it is permanently deleted.

***

## Tips

* Use **PDF uploads** for official documents issued by a certifying authority — these are the most credible
* Use **media uploads** for photos of certificates, inspection sheets, or badges displayed at your store
* Certificate names are visible to customers, so write them clearly (e.g., "BC Food Safe Certificate" rather than "cert1")

<Note>
  Certifications are displayed publicly on your store profile. Only upload documents you are comfortable sharing with customers.
