Description

BrandProtection is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to combat counterfeit products by implementing a robust verification code system. It allows you to generate unique codes, assign them to your WooCommerce products, and provide a seamless verification experience for your customers.

Protect your brand reputation and build customer trust with unique, secure product authentication.

Key Features

  • Generate Unique Codes – Create 1 to 10,000 guaranteed unique verification codes in a single batch.
  • WooCommerce Integration – Seamlessly assign codes to specific WooCommerce products.
  • Printable QR Tags – Generate and print professional QR code tags directly from the admin panel for your physical products.
  • Frontend Verification – Simple shortcode [brandprot_verify] allows customers to verify product authenticity instantly.
  • Smart Verification Logic – Automatically detects and flags first-time verifications, duplicate attempts, and invalid codes.
  • Comprehensive Logging – Track all verification attempts with detailed information including IP, browser, and timestamp.
  • Admin Dashboard – Get an overview of your system with beautiful statistics and quick action buttons.
  • CSV Export – Export usage logs and code lists for offline analysis.
  • Security First – Built with WordPress security best practices, including nonce verification and data sanitization.
  • GDPR Compliant – Stores minimal data (IP address for security) with no PII collection.

How It Works

  1. Generate Codes: Go to the “Generate Codes” page to create a batch of unique codes.
  2. Assign to Products: Link these codes to your WooCommerce products.
  3. Print Tags: Select codes and use the “Print Tags” bulk action to generate QR code labels for your packaging.
  4. Distribute: Attach the codes/tags to your physical products.
  5. Verify: Customers scan the QR code or enter the code on your verification page to confirm authenticity.

Verification Statuses

  • Valid: The code exists and is being verified for the first time. The customer sees a success message.
  • Used: The code has already been verified. The customer is warned that the product might be counterfeit or the code reused.
  • Invalid: The code does not exist in the system. The customer is alerted to a potential fake product.

BrandProtection is designed with privacy in mind:
* We only store IP addresses and User Agent strings for security and fraud detection purposes.
* No personal identifiable information (PII) like names or emails is collected.
* Data collection is transparent and intended solely for system integrity.
