Enabling users to connect to an external backpack means they can add badges from their Moodle site to their backpack and also display badges from other sites in their Moodle profile.

			{{Note\|Badgr, later known as Canvas Credentials, was renamed '''Parchment Digital Badges''' on 31 October 2025. Moodle still uses the name ''Canvas Credentials'' on its screens, and many of the service's addresses still use the badgr.io domain.}}

			{{Warning\|The free issuer plan for Parchment Digital Badges ended on 31 December 2025. Free issuer accounts were turned into backpacks: their badges can still be viewed, but no new badges can be issued from them.
			* Learners can still use a free backpack to store and share the badges they earn in Moodle.
			* Connecting an issuer account to a Moodle backpack (so badges show your organisation as the issuer) now requires a paid Parchment Digital Badges plan.}}

	==Site administration settings==		==Site administration settings==
	The ~~backpack badgr.io is provided by default. Admins can add additional backpacks~~, ~~for users with an~~ account ~~on eu~~.~~badgr~~.io, ca.~~badgr~~.~~io or au~~.badgr.io.		{{Note\|The ''Provider'' and ''Region'' settings, the ''Canvas Credentials regions'' setting and the ''Connect to a Canvas Credentials issuer account'' option were added in Moodle 4.5.7. If you don't see them, upgrade your site to the latest 4.5 minor release.}}

			Backpacks are managed from ''Site administration > Badges > Manage backpacks''. A Parchment Digital Badges backpack for the United States region is provided by default (https://badgr.io).

	~~For example, to add the eu.badgr.io follow the steps:~~		===Adding a Parchment Digital Badges backpack===
	# Go to Site administration / Badges / Manage backpacks.		# Go to ''Site administration > Badges > Manage backpacks''.
	# Click the button 'Add a new backpack'.		# Click the button 'Add a new backpack'.
	# ~~Create this~~ backpack ~~with~~ the ~~following details~~:		# Set ''API version'' to ''Open Badges v2.0''.
	#* Backpack API URL - https://api.eu.badgr.io/v2		# Set ''Provider'' to ''Canvas Credentials''.
	~~#* Backpack URL -~~ https://eu.badgr.io		# Choose the ''Region'' your users' accounts are in: Australia, Canada, Europe, Singapore or United States. The backpack URL and API URL for the region are filled in for you.
	~~#* API version - Open Badges v2~~.0		# Optionally, tick ''Connect to a Canvas Credentials issuer account'' and enter the issuer email and password. This requires a paid plan. When it is set, badges exported to the backpack show your organisation as the issuer and you can track who received them. Leave it unticked if you don't have a paid plan: users can still add their badges to their own backpacks.
	~~#* (Leave 'Include authentication details with the backpack' unticked~~.)		# Save changes.
	~~Follow the same process for ca.~~badgr.io ~~and au~~.badgr.io ~~changing only the region letters (~~the ''eu'' ~~in the above URLs~~ to ''ca'' or ''au'').
			Add one backpack for each region your users need. You can set the order in which backpacks are listed for users.

			===Canvas Credentials regions===
			The list of regions offered in the ''Region'' menu is set in ''Site administration > Badges > Badges settings > Canvas Credentials regions''. Each line holds the region name, the backpack URL and the backpack API URL, separated by pipe characters. The defaults are:

			<pre>
			Australia\|https://au.badgr.io\|https://api.au.badgr.io/v2
			Canada\|https://ca.badgr.io\|https://api.ca.badgr.io/v2
			Europe\|https://eu.badgr.io\|https://api.eu.badgr.io/v2
			Singapore\|https://sg.badgr.io\|https://api.sg.badgr.io/v2
			United States\|https://badgr.io\|https://api.badgr.io/v2
			</pre>

			You can remove regions you don't want to offer, or update the URLs if Parchment changes them.

			===Other backpack providers===
			To connect to another Open Badges v2.0 provider, set ''Provider'' to ''Other'' and enter its backpack URL and backpack API URL. You can also tick ''Connect to backpack provider account'' and enter your issuer credentials, if the provider supports it.

	~~Note the admin can set the order in which backpacks are listed for users.~~
