Certificate of Appreciation questions
What should I write on a certificate of appreciation?
Name the specific contribution ("for leading the product launch") and add one sincere sentence of thanks. Specific beats generic.
Can I use it for guest speakers?
Yes. Put the session title as what they're appreciated for.
How does someone check that it's genuine?
Every document issued with SealHive carries a QR code and a short link. Scanning it opens a page on our site showing who issued it, to whom and when, and whether it's still valid. Anyone can also upload the PDF to confirm it hasn't been edited.
Is it free?
Yes. You can design and preview with every template for free, and your first certificate is free. After that, you buy credits: one credit issues one certificate or letter.
