## Description

Verifycate connects your WordPress LMS to the Verifycate credential platform, so

a verifiable certificate is queued and issued automatically when a learner completes
a course.

Supported course plugins:

 * LearnDash
 * Tutor LMS
 * LearnPress
 * LifterLMS
 * Sensei
 * A generic custom hook for course, membership, e-commerce and in-house plugins

Highlights:

 * Automatic issuance on course completion, quiz passing or lesson completion,
    
   with “Any” options so one mapping can cover a whole catalogue or a group of items.
 * Optional minimum quiz scores, so a certificate is only issued after the learner
   
   reaches the required result.
 * Map learner and course data to certificate attributes with tokens such as
    {user_name},{
   course_title}, {completion_date}, {user_meta:key} and {course_meta:key}.
 * Control repeat completions: issue once per learner, or reissue onto the latest
   
   published design for recertification.
 * A durable issuance queue with exponential backoff, visible failures and a
    retry
   action, so a temporary API outage does not lose a completion.
 * A certificate wallet shortcode and block so learners can open what they have
   
   earned, plus single-certificate and public-verification shortcodes.
 * Search, sorting, pagination and bulk actions for course mappings.
 * A dedicated Configure screen for the workspace API key and environment
    settings.
 * Translation-ready, with a bundled `languages/verifycate.pot` template.
 * A connection test that explains bad keys, missing plans and permission
    problems.
 * WP-CLI commands for status, mappings, direct issuance, queue processing,
    retries
   and logs.

Designing the certificate itself happens in the Verifycate dashboard. This
 plugin
handles the connection and issuance.

### External services

This plugin connects to the Verifycate API to create and issue digital
 certificates.

 * Service: Verifycate (https://verifycate.com)
 * API endpoint: https://api.verifycate.com
 * What is sent, and when: after an administrator connects the site with a
    Verifycate
   workspace API key and configures at least one course mapping, the plugin sends
   the learner’s name, email address, the course title, the completion date, a score
   when the LMS provides one, and any mapped certificate attributes to the Verifycate
   API so the certificate can be created, issued and delivered. When a logged-in
   learner opens the certificate wallet, their WordPress account email is sent to
   retrieve their certificates. Public verification sends only the certificate’s
   public ID. No learner data is sent by the issuance pipeline before the site is
   connected and a mapping is saved.
 * The connection uses the REST API over HTTPS with a workspace API key.
 * Terms of Use: https://verifycate.com/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://verifycate.com/privacy
 * Pricing: https://verifycate.com/pricing

A paid Verifycate workspace is required for the plugin to issue certificates.

### Privacy

Verifycate stores workspace settings, certificate mappings, issuance queue
 entries
and activity logs in the WordPress database. Queue entries and logs can include 
a learner’s name, email address, course, quiz or lesson identifiers, certificate
metadata and API responses needed to diagnose issuance. Logs can be cleared from
Verifycate > Logs. Uninstalling the plugin removes settings, mappings, queue history
and logs only when the administrator enables “Delete settings, mappings, queue history
and logs when the plugin is uninstalled” on the Configure screen.

Certificate issuance sends learner data to Verifycate as described under
 External
services. The Verifycate privacy policy is available at https://verifycate.com/privacy.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/verifycate/`, or install it through
    the WordPress plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to Verifycate > Get started, paste a workspace API key, and click Connect Verifycate.
    The plugin finds the workspace, checks the key scopes and plan, and tests the connection.
 4. Create at least one certificate in the Verifycate dashboard, then map a course 
    under Verifycate > Mappings and choose the course, quiz-passed or lesson-completed
    trigger.
 5. Optional: add `[verifycate_wallet]` to a learner-facing page, or insert the Verifycate
    Wallet block.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require an LMS plugin?

No. The plugin works with LearnDash, Tutor LMS, LearnPress, LifterLMS and Sensei

when they are present, and you can also issue certificates through the custom hook.
A custom-hook mapping lets you connect other plugins without waiting for a dedicated
integration.

### Do I need a Verifycate account?

Yes. Certificates are created and hosted by Verifycate. The plugin is the
 connection
between your WordPress site and your Verifycate workspace.

### Does the plugin design my certificates?

No. You design certificates in the Verifycate dashboard and map to them here.

### Can I issue a certificate for a quiz or a lesson?

Yes. Choose the LMS, then select the course-completed, quiz-passed or
 lesson-completed
trigger and pick a specific course, quiz or lesson — or use one of the “Any” options
to cover a whole catalogue or a group of items. Quiz triggers can optionally require
a minimum score. For an event your LMS does not expose, use the custom hook and 
trigger `verifycate_course_completed` from your own code.

### Does it work without an API key?

No. Course-completion issuance requires a workspace API key so the plugin can
 talk
to the Verifycate API.

### What happens if the Verifycate API is temporarily unavailable?

The completion is written to a database queue. The plugin retries with
 exponential
backoff, up to five attempts, and shows the last error under Verifycate > Logs. 
Failed jobs can be retried after the connection or mapping is fixed.

### Where is data stored?

Settings, encrypted API key, mappings, queue jobs and bounded logs are stored in

your WordPress database. Uninstall removes them only when the administrator enabled
data removal on the Get started screen.

### Can learners see their certificates?

Yes. Add the `[verifycate_wallet]` shortcode or the Verifycate Wallet block to a

page. Logged-in learners see the certificates issued to their account email. You
can also embed a single certificate with `[verifycate_certificate public_id="..."]
or add a public verification form with [verifycate_verify].

### Can I translate the plugin?

Yes. The plugin is translation-ready and includes a `languages/verifycate.pot`
 
template. Use Poedit, Loco Translate, or WP-CLI to create a translation for your
locale, then place the `.po` and `.mo` files in `wp-content/languages/plugins/` 
or the plugin’s `languages/` directory.
