Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about HackerBadges: Ship Products, Get Proof..

How does badge verification work?
HackerBadges connects directly to your Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or Polar.sh account via their official APIs. When you hit a milestone (e.g., $1k MRR, 100 customers), we read the actual data from the source — no manual input, no self-reporting. Each badge is stamped with a verified seal.
What badge styles are available?
We offer 10+ premium themes: Brutal (neobrutalist with hard shadows), Neon (vibrant glow), Glass (glassmorphism), Terminal (hacker/CLI aesthetic), and more. We also have special Failure styles like 'Cracked' and 'BSOD' for the Failure Hall of Fame.
What are public product pages?
Each product gets a public URL (/p/your-product) that acts as a verified company profile. It includes live metrics synced from your integrations, a founder's note, an interactive timeline, badge showcase, and tech stack display — all SEO-optimized.
What is the Failure Hall of Fame?
A dedicated space to celebrate lessons learned. Create badges for milestones like '0 Upvotes on Product Hunt', 'Refunded First Customer', or 'Pivot #4'. Because the path to $10k MRR is paved with failed experiments — and that's worth showing.
Is there a free plan?
Yes! The free tier includes unlimited manual badge generation, 1 public product page, basic styles, and access to the global Win Feed. Lifetime access ($19 one-time) unlocks automated verification, premium themes, unlimited products, and boosted visibility.
Why one-time payment instead of a subscription?
HackerBadges is built by an indie hacker, for indie hackers. We know the pain of subscription fatigue. Pay $19 once and get lifetime access to every feature — including all future updates and new badge themes.
