Introducing Community Badges: recognition for your contributions

Hey Community :waving_hand:

We want to celebrate the members who make the Shopify Community helpful. That’s why we are introducing a new Badge System to showcase your achievements.

Starting today, your earned badges aka your contributions are displayed by username. They go where you post!

What do badges on display do?

  • Credibility: Show others that you know your stuff.
  • Recognition: Stand out as a top contributor in discussions.
  • Milestones: Track your own growth within the community.

How do I get them?
No sign-up required. Just keep posting and engaging topics when you see value.

Here are the 9 badges currently being highlighted:

  • Regular: For reaching Trust Level 3.
  • Aficionado: For logging in 100 days in a row.
  • Power User 2024: For the top 500 most engaged users in 2024. We can’t wait to release 2025 Power User :slight_smile:
  • 100 Accepted Solutions: For providing 100 accepted solutions.
  • 100 Likes: For earning 100 likes across your content.
  • 50 Posts: For creating 50 discussions or replies.
  • Good Topic: For a single topic that earns 25 likes.
  • Good Reply: For a single reply that earns 25 likes.
  • Gives Back: For members with 100 liked posts who have also given 100 likes.

We are rolling out this pilot program and want to hear your voice. Reply here to let us know how you feel about the program or the look of badges, and what badges you wish to see in the future!
