Official Certification
Official is the highest certification level on MarketHub — reserved exclusively for packages authored or endorsed by BizFirstGO and its approved integration partners. It cannot be applied for through the standard certification process.
What Official Means
An Official badge signals the highest possible level of trust and endorsement on the marketplace. It means BizFirstGO has either:
- Authored the package directly as a reference implementation or platform template, or
- Formally reviewed and endorsed the package as part of an approved integration partner program
