Getting a verifiable product live is less work than most teams expect. Here’s the whole path, start to finish, plus the small decisions that save you a reprint later.

Before you start

Decide two things: which product you’re protecting first (pick one real SKU, not a test), and where the code will physically go β€” on the product, the packaging, or a separate label. That placement choice affects size and print method, so settle it early.

1. Add the product

Create a product record with the details you want shown on the verification page β€” name, image, category, and fields like serial or batch number. This is what the customer sees when they scan, so treat it as a customer-facing page, not an internal form.

2. Generate a batch of codes

From the dashboard, generate as many serialised authentication codes as you need for that product. The important part: each code is unique to one unit and links to your verification page. Match the batch size to a real production run so your records line up with what actually ships.

3. Print and apply

Export the codes and print them onto your products or packaging β€” any standard label printer handles it. A few things that prevent headaches:

  • Test-scan a printed sample with an ordinary phone before the full run.
  • Leave enough quiet margin around each code so scanners read it reliably.
  • Don’t place codes where they’ll be covered, folded, or worn off.

4. Verify and watch

When customers scan, they see your branded confirmation, and every scan is logged. From there you watch the patterns that matter β€” first scans near the point of sale (healthy) versus one code lighting up in five countries (a clone signal).

Prefer to automate?

The same batch creation is available through the REST API, with webhooks for code and scan events β€” so you can wire code generation into your manufacturing or ERP system and react to scans in real time.

Common first-batch mistakes

  • Using one shared code for the whole line β€” it can’t be authenticated, only copied.
  • Printing the full run before test-scanning a sample.
  • Forgetting to connect registration or warranty to the same scan, so you collect codes but no customers.

The takeaway

A verifiable product is four steps: add the product, generate serialised codes, print and apply, then verify and watch. Start with one SKU, test before you scale, and make the first scan do double duty β€” authenticity and registration. Once the first batch is live, repeating it across your catalogue is routine.
