Common Questions
How is CertNode different from my platform’s built-in logs?
Your platform logs can be edited. CertNode receipts use cryptographic signatures that can’t be changed after creation. They're independently verifiable at certnode.io/verify—like a digital notary stamp.
Does this make customers feel surveilled?
No—the opposite. Customers can verify their own records anytime, giving them confidence they got what they paid for. It’s like a receipt from a store: both sides keep a copy. That's fair.
What if I just need one type of receipt (e.g., just transactions)?
All plans include all three receipt types. Why? Because disputes are easier to resolve with complete context. "Customer paid" + "Customer downloaded" + "Customer logged in 47 times" tells the full story.
Can I use Self-Service Plans and High-Ticket Shield together?
No. These are mutually exclusive base products. High-Ticket Shield includes all Self-Service features plus white-glove service. Choose based on service level: self-service (Self-Service Plans) vs managed (High-Ticket Shield).
How long does setup take?
5-15 minutes for most integrations. Click "Add Integration" → Choose your platform → Enter API key → Done. Receipts start generating automatically for all new transactions.
Can't I just create my own timestamps? Why pay for CertNode?
Your server logs show "Transaction at 3:42pm", but you control your server's clock. You could theoretically backdate entries. Courts and payment processors know this.
CertNode uses RFC 3161 Timestamp Authorities—independent third parties that cryptographically prove "this data existed at this exact time." You cannot backdate an RFC 3161 timestamp. That's why courts accept them under Federal Rules of Evidence 902(13-14).
Think of it like a notary: You could write "signed on June 5th" on your own contract, but a notary's stamp proves it was actually signed then. Same principle.
Why not just use blockchain?
| CertNode | Blockchain | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $0.01-0.12/receipt | $0.50-50 gas fees |
| Speed | <2 seconds | 10s-10min confirmation |
| Legal Standard | RFC 3161 (proven) | Uncertain admissibility |
| Privacy | Private (your data) | Public ledger forever |
Blockchain is powerful for decentralized finance. For business records, RFC 3161 is faster, cheaper, legally proven, and keeps customer data private.
What if CertNode shuts down?
Your receipts remain valid forever. Here's how:
- ✓One-click export — Download all receipts as JSON/PDF anytime
- ✓RFC 3161 timestamps are permanent — They're verified against the Timestamp Authority's public archive, not CertNode's servers
- ✓JWKS keys publicly archived — Anyone can verify signatures using our published keys (even if certnode.io is offline)
- ✓Enterprise escrow arrangements — High-Ticket Shield and Enterprise plans include code/key escrow
Think of CertNode like a document scanner: even if the scanner company goes away, your scanned PDFs still work.
30-40% dispute reduction sounds too good to be true
Fair skepticism. Here's the honest breakdown:
Industry Data (Chargebacks911, 2024): Merchants with timestamped delivery proof + usage logs see 30-40% fewer chargebacks than those with payment receipts only. Why? Because most disputes aren't fraud—they're confusion ("I never got it" / "This isn't what I ordered").
Not Magic: If you sell physical products and never ship them, CertNode can't help. But if you deliver digital products and can't currently prove you delivered them, this is transformative.
Your Safety Net: Cancel within 60 days for a full refund. No questions asked. No hoops to jump through.
This seems expensive compared to Stripe
We complement Stripe, not compete with it: Stripe processes payments. CertNode creates independent proof of delivery and activity. You need both—like having security cameras AND door locks.
Different tiers, different protection:
- •Starter/Professional: Evidence after disputes (win chargebacks with proof of delivery)
- •High Ticket Shield: Prevention before sale (real-time ID verification) + evidence after
ROI Math: One $2,000 chargeback costs you $2,000 + $15 fee + hours of dispute work. CertNode Professional costs $199/month. One prevented chargeback pays for 10 months.
For high-ticket businesses: Can you afford not to have independent proof when a $10K sale gets disputed?
