When a participant signs up using the default member signup form and does not enter their name, their contact profile is created using the prefix of their email address. This name then appears on their certificate and in your contacts.

Your program's existing participants can update their name directly from the members area on your live site.

To make sure participant names appear correctly, we recommend replacing the default sign up form with a custom form that requires users to enter both their first and last names when joining your site. This ensures that each contact profile is created with the correct name from the start.


Yes. Use the Issued Certificates report in Wix Analytics to see which participants earned a certificate across your programs.
