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 (On tagbase.io or On customdomain.xyz), 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 customdomain.xyz: a verified scan redirects to your site. Your domain appears in the label (see custom domain).
- 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.
Custom data
Advanced Options on the create dialog takes extra values for every tag, such as a batch number or an edition number, and a category turns those values into a form. Both are covered in custom data, together with numbering the tags of a product.
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. Your own systems can change a product’s title, description, and images over the API.
What you set here is what a customer sees on the verification page (see scanning a tag).
