A product is the item you’re protecting, such as a handbag, a bottle, or a document, along with the content a customer sees after they verify it. Each product owns a set of tags, the individually verifiable NFC units that go on the physical items. What a customer sees on a successful scan is set here.
The products list
/dashboard/products lists every product in your team. Search by name, switch between list and grid views, and sort by title. Each row shows the tag count, the verification type (Internal or External), and the last verification time, which is blank if a product has never been scanned.
Creating a product
Create a product opens a dialog with three sections on one page:
- Verification: choose where customers land after a verified scan.
- On tagbase.io: TAGBASE hosts the verification page showing your product info.
- On your own domain: a verified scan redirects to your site (see external verification).
- Details: title, description, and how many tags to mint (up to 10,000 per product; contact us for more).
- Media: images, videos, and documents like warranties or certificates. Drop files anywhere in the dialog and they sort themselves.
For TAGBASE-hosted products, a live preview next to the form shows the verification page as customers will see it, updating as you type. Drafts survive page reloads until you create the product or discard them.
Numbering multiple items
When a product mints more than one tag, the title and description accept two template variables, filled in per tag:
{{number}}: the tag’s position, counting up from 1.{{total}}: the product’s tag count.
A title like Print {{number}} of {{total}} on a 50-tag product yields “Print
1 of 50” through “Print 50 of 50”. The count stays correct when more tags are
added later, and the dialog’s live preview shows the first tag’s values.
Without variables, every tag shares the product’s title and description as
written.
Custom data
Advanced Options in the create dialog accepts a JSON object attached to
every tag. Its keys become template variables of their own, so {"edition": "{{number}} of {{total}}"} lets a title use {{edition}}, and values can use
{{number}} and {{total}} just like the title.
The data is also returned with each tag when listing a product’s tags through the API, so external integrations can read it alongside the title and description.
A product’s page
Opening a product (/dashboard/products/<id>) shows:
- Product information: description, product URL, tag count, verification type, and the image gallery customers see.
- Success rate: scan outcomes for this product, with Scanned, Invalid, and Valid counts and the valid percentage.
- Link engagement: how many customers clicked through to your product and brand links after verifying.
Edit opens the same dialog to update details, media, and the verification type, with the same live preview. Changes apply to the next scan immediately. Delete removes the product and its tags.
What you set here is what a customer sees on the verification page (see scanning a tag).
Next: every scan of those tags lands in verifications.
