I built an exam and certification feature for the professional area of Surface Hair’s Shopify website, enabling Pro users to validate their knowledge and earn downloadable certificates.
Authenticated users can log in to take exams composed of dynamically managed questions. After submitting the exam, the system provides immediate feedback by highlighting which questions were answered correctly and incorrectly, and allows users to retake the exam as needed. Once a passing score is achieved, the user is presented with a personalized certificate displaying their name, which can be downloaded and printed.
The system was built entirely within Shopify’s ecosystem. Exams and questions are managed using Shopify metaobjects, making the content easy to create, update, and scale without code changes. Exam results, attempts, and pass status are stored in customer metafields and tied directly to the user’s Shopify account. I integrated Shopify’s API to securely save and retrieve this data, ensuring exam progress and certification status persist across sessions and devices.
On the front end, the experience was built with Vue.js for a reactive interface, combined with HTML, CSS, and Liquid for seamless integration with the Shopify theme. The result is a smooth, intuitive certification flow that feels native to the platform while leveraging modern frontend architecture.
