QRCertificates
QRCertificates is a web and API service for creating, delivering and verifying digital certificates and other credentials. Organizations can issue credentials individually or in CSV batches, using a drag-and-drop designer, reusable templates or uploaded artwork. Each credential includes a QR code and short code leading to a public verification page that needs no login or app. Credentials use Ed25519 signatures over canonical fields, and verification checks them against a fixed platform public key. Issuers can establish identity with evidence such as a verified email, DNS-confirmed domain or business registration, and can revoke credentials so public pages show that status. The API covers templates, issuance, batches, revocation, email delivery and public verification. Listed integrations include learning platforms, Zapier, Make and n8n. Plans include Free at free, Growth at $49 a month, Scale at $99 a month and Pro at $149 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom. The Free allowance is described as either 100 monthly credits or 30 certificates on different pages.
