Badge Delivery - foundry4/fsa-digital-badges GitHub Wiki
Onboarding
Challenges:
- Too many platforms and technical structures to find one solution for
- Business' capability for digital implementation
- Business' time and resource for digital implementation
- Bugs and patching updates
- Backlash if support is not reasonable
Recommendations:
- Visual and video based step-by-step guides for how to choose and implement badges based on what type of platform you manage
- A community forum for questions where businesses can help one another
- A community manager to manage requests, answer questions and respond to any negative comments
- A technical help desk to raise tickets for bugs or update requests
- A help line / live chat to speak to support teams
- Nationwide digital clinics, where businesses can visit support teams in their town and better understand how to display their badges
Getting a badge
Challenges:
- Authenticity: how do consumers know the business is using the right rating and not someone else's?
- Authenticity: How do aggregators access lots of badges without 'stealing'?
- Data error: what happens when a business' badge doesn't work?
- Accessing large sets of badges for chains, aggregators and groups
- Business managers not understanding the onboarding and access process
- Choosing a badge that works best for your platform or business type
Recommendations:
- Give the businesses the option to select which kind of asset they want to use
- Taking inspiration from asset serving platforms such as Giphy, offer an array of links for each design type - including static download
- Keep the open data on FHRS website, but potentially add a layer of security for accessing embed codes for digital badges (such as 2FA but not compulsory)
- Allow for larger businesses to export multiple registered business' badges at once
- Require a dedicated digital manager and fallback contact for each business, who can verify any incorrect data or badges
- Give businesses a preview tool, so they may see how the badges look on their platform when selecting a design type
- Enter a business URL
- Choose a design
- Choose a placement
- See preview of badge
- Export screengrab of preview for implementation help or support

Has the option to preview badge in placement before implementation
Chains or aggregators have the option to select multiple ratings for export, optional added 2FA layer to retrieve these
Data export for multiple ratings
