By automatically syncing your GamiPress achievements with Credly (now part of Credly by Pearson), you empower your users to showcase their hard-earned skills and milestones on professional networks like LinkedIn. This plugin transforms your website’s internal rewards into portable, verified digital badges that boost user engagement, build brand authority, and provide your community with tangible proof of their accomplishments.

- User Engagement Boost: Give your community an extra incentive to complete tasks, finish courses, or participate in your platform by offering rewards that hold real-world professional value.
Use Cases and Who It’s For
This integration is essential for any WordPress site owner who wants to elevate their gamification efforts from simple internal badges to recognized professional credentials. It is particularly valuable for online educators, corporate training platforms, and professional certification websites.
If you run a Learning Management System (LMS), this plugin allows you to reward students with industry-recognized digital badges upon course completion. For membership site owners, it provides a powerful retention tool by offering members tangible assets they can add to their resumes or LinkedIn profiles. By connecting your site to Credly, you are not just rewarding activity; you are helping your users build their professional identity, which in turn creates a deeper, more loyal connection between them and your brand.
Setup and How It Works
Getting started with the GamiPress – Credly integration is designed to be straightforward for site administrators:
- Connect Your Account: After installing the plugin, navigate to the GamiPress settings and enter your Credly API credentials to establish a secure connection between your WordPress site and your Credly organization account.
- Configure Badge Mapping: Within your GamiPress achievement settings, you will find a new tab or option to map that specific achievement to a corresponding badge template you have already created inside your Credly dashboard.
- Define Triggers: Once mapped, the integration automatically listens for the GamiPress triggers. When a user meets the requirements for the achievement, the plugin sends the user’s data to Credly.
- Automated Delivery: Credly handles the badge issuance, sending an email notification to the user with instructions on how to accept, display, and share their new digital credential.

While GamiPress – Credly is the primary solution for integrating GamiPress with the Credly ecosystem, other solutions exist within the WordPress space for digital credentialing. Plugins such as BadgeOS or LearnDash also offer their own proprietary add-ons for Credly integration. If you are not using GamiPress as your core gamification engine, you may need to evaluate these alternatives to ensure compatibility with your existing site architecture.
