NCCA – National Carpet Cleaners Association

Digital Smart Badge User Guide

Introduction

The National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA) has partnered with Yoshki Ltd to develop a secure Digital Smart Badge using the Yoshki Smart Logo service.

The NCCA Digital Badge allows members of the public to easily identify that a website they are visiting belongs to a genuine NCCA approved member.

Thanks to the software through which the logo is provided, only approved NCCA member websites can use the Digital Smart Badge.
By using the Digital Smart Badge, the NCCA is helping consumers make more informed choices and protect the online identity of NCCA members.

The NCCA Digital Smart Badge is added to your website via a simple HTML snippet and is only available to genuine and approved NCCA members

Features & benefits

Yoshki’s website validation technology is a simple but important feature for the NCCA Digital Smart Badge.

It ensures that the badge will only display on websites which are registered as belonging to genuine NCCA members.

To prove to website visitors that the NCCA Digital Smart Badge is genuine and your right to use it is current, a date stamp is included within the design, which will automatically update every day.

When someone clicks on the NCCA Digital Smart Badge, they will be seamlessly redirected to an NCCA-hosted verificiation page confirming that the site belongs to a NCCA member, what this means, and what protections they benefit from when using an approved member.

Installation guide

Adding the NCCA Digital Smart Badge to your website is a simple and quick process.

Simply copy the associated HTML snippet and provide this to whoever administers your website. They can then paste this directly into whatever software is used to manage your site.

Please make sure that you’re not adding the HTML snippet to development or testing sites; the NCCA Digital Smart Badge will only work once published on the specific website address provided to the NCCA. It might not also display in your page builder or editor.

The NCCA Digital Smart Badge automatically displays your membership category

The date stamp shows your Digital Smart Badge is valid and updates automatically each day
