Add more details
The Verisart Shopify App creates basic certificates by automatically populating the certificate with the product information such as product title, image and description.
To give your customers full confidence in the accuracy and authenticity of the certificate and their purchase, we recommend you provide additional details including:
Production year
Dimensions
Edition information (if relevant)
Production location
Current location
Inventory number
6. Choose when certificates are issued
Decide when customers receive their certificates using the 'Set claim email trigger':
Point of purchase: Customer receives certificate immediately after checkout
Point of fulfillment: Customer receives certificate only after the order is marked as fulfilled (recommended if you have high order cancellation rates.
How to 'Set claim email trigger'?
Go to Verisart Shopify app
Go to 'Settings' tab
Scroll to 'Set claim email trigger' and select preferred option
7. Set your usage fee limit
Verisart charges a $0.25 transaction fee for each authenticated product sale.
This means that for every sale with a Certificate of Authenticity, a $0.25 fee is applied for certificate generation.
You can add a usage fee limit to ensure usages fees do not exceed a specific amount.
We recommend factoring in your payment processor's fees as part of your cost calculation Learn more about usage fees →
