# Products

Create products, mint their tags, and shape what customers see.


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](/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](/dashboard/products/new)** 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](/docs/your-domain/external-verification)).
- **Details**: title, description, and how many tags to mint (up to 10,000 per
  product; [contact us](mailto:contact@tagbase.io) 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](/docs/dashboard/categories) turns those values into a form.
Both are covered in [custom data](/docs/dashboard/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](/docs/api/products).

What you set here is what a customer sees on the verification page (see
[scanning a tag](/docs/getting-started/scanning-a-tag)).

Next: how products, categories, and entities fit together, under
[products, categories, and entities](/docs/dashboard/concepts).
