This article describes the process of how to set up your certification standard on the BeCause platform.
First, you will need to set up your certification under Certification Management. Please fill in a summary and description of your certification and remember to upload a picture that will show on your certified establishments.
Here we have gathered some relevant step-by-step guides for you to start.
After you have set up your certification you will also need to create a Group that all your certified establishments end up in for your overview.
Creating your Certification in Certification Management
1. Go to Certification Management and click "My certifications".
2. Click "Create certification".
3. Name the certification and write a summary. Remember to upload your picture of the certification before you "Save".
We recommend you check our Certification Description and Logo Guide here.🤝
4. Now you can see your certification and you can always edit the summary and picture by clicking "Edit".
Certification Description and Logo Importance
1. Give your certification an official name
You must give your certification a correct name. The name will be visible on all your issuable certifications.
2. Add a thorough summary of the certification
Add a short and thorough description of your certification. The more precise your certification is, the better. This will also be visible on all your issuable certifications and it is good for your users to see what your certification is about.
3. Add an image logo representing your certification
Logos are at least 512x512 in dimension and 72 dpi.
PNG format is preferable but optional.
Avoid text with logos, as it is difficult to read.

Editing your certification 🧑🍳
Once you have created your certification, you will be able to edit the following under Edit certification:
Certification information.
Certification metrics.
1. Editing Certification information
This is where you can edit the certification information you added upon the creation of the certification in our platform.
2. Edit Certification metrics
This is where you can add and edit any custom values for your certification, examples:
A specific level (e.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze)
A specific score (e.g. Score on energy, water, waste)
Creating a Unique Identifier 🆔
A unique identifier is needed to keep your data clean when you update changes for existing certified members/companies.
Go to our API certifier guide
Click on Select Identifier.
Click on the orange box to create your identifier.
Name and create your identifier.
This could for example be
[name of certification]+ID
(in this example the Waystar Royco ID).
Once you have clicked Create you will have a unique identifier that will be used to distinguish each individually certified member/company from each other 🙌.
Creating your group
Go to Settings and select "My groups".
2. Click "Create group". This is the group that you will import certified establishments.
3. Name the group and click "Submit".
4. Here you can see an overview of all your Groups and your newest added group.
5. Succession! You are now ready to make your first import on certified companies ✅.
