Earn recognition, unlock higher commissions, and stand out in the marketplace through our badge tier system.
You've made your first sale! The Bronze badge marks the beginning of your CodeVault journey. Buyers can see you're an active author.
You've built a catalog and consistently deliver. Silver authors have proven their value and are featured in category listings.
Gold authors are marketplace veterans with a diverse, high-quality catalog and a loyal buyer base. Trusted by thousands.
Elite-level authors who have demonstrated excellence in quality, volume, and buyer satisfaction. Marketplace influencers.
The top 1% of CodeVault authors. Elite status represents the pinnacle of quality and commercial success on the platform.
Badges are recalculated on the 1st of every month based on your trailing 30-day performance. You can go up — or down — each cycle.
Your badge level is determined by the combination of revenue, product count, and average review score. All three must meet the tier minimum.
If your metrics temporarily drop (e.g., low-sales month), you retain your current badge for one cycle before downgrading. No sudden drops.
When your badge changes — up or down — you'll receive an email with your new status and actionable tips to improve.
Beyond tier badges, these are one-time awards for specific milestones. They appear permanently on your profile.
