Custom Expiration Settings for Certificates

SMBcrm now supports custom expiration rules for certificates and credential templates in Memberships & Education. Creators can decide how long newly issued credentials remain valid and set reminders before they expire.

Certificate expiration settings

What Changed

You can configure certificate and credential template expiration in three ways:

  • Never expire
  • Expire on a fixed date
  • Expire a relative number of months after issue

Relative expiration options include 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, and 36 months.

Expiration Reminders

Reminder offsets can be configured so recipients are notified before a credential expires. Expiry calculations and reminder scheduling are timezone-aware.

Where Settings Appear

Expiration settings are shown in credential and template lists and modals, making it easier to confirm the rule applied before issuing credentials.

Getting Started

Open a certificate or credential template, choose an expiration option, and optionally configure reminder offsets. Newly issued credentials will calculate and store expiry based on those settings.
