Licensed Products Platform

What Are Licensed Products?

Licensed products are the core of itemID's B2B platform. They represent physical merchandise categories — branded keychains, jerseys with QR tags, limited-edition collectibles, or souvenirs — that gain digital identities through the itemID system. When a customer scans the QR code or taps the NFC tag on a licensed product, they unlock a personalized digital activation experience.

How It Works

1. Product Configuration

Organizations define their product catalog in the Management Portal. Each product specifies the activation flow customers will experience, including branded welcome screens, required registration fields, and exclusive digital content that unlocks upon activation.

2. Batch Production

The platform generates unique UUID/PIN pairs in bulk for production runs. Each physical item receives a unique QR code containing its UUID. PINs provide an additional verification layer — customers enter the PIN during activation to prove physical possession of the product.

3. Customer Activation

When an end customer scans the QR code on their product, the activation flow begins. Depending on the product configuration, they may see branded welcome messages, register ownership, unlock exclusive content, and receive a digital certificate of authenticity.

4. Ongoing Engagement

Activated products become channels for ongoing customer engagement. Organizations can push new content, run campaigns, enable AR experiences, and build loyalty through achievements and rewards — all connected through the original QR/NFC tag on the physical product.
