When someone scans one of your codes with a phone camera, the phone opens your verify address. The page that opens shows whether the product is genuine, in the customer’s language, with your brand and the product details you choose to add.

What the customer sees

After a Genuine verdict the page also shows, when you’ve filled them in:
  • a short note for the product (up to 280 characters), such as fitment or care instructions;
  • a Product details button linking to your product page;
  • a Register warranty button linking to your warranty form;
  • when your loyalty or warranty programme is on, a button to earn points and register the warranty on Satyakod, until someone has claimed that code.
After a Suspicious or Counterfeit verdict it shows a Report it to your brand button that opens WhatsApp (or email) to your team, with the code already in the message. Your phone number and email are never shown as text on the page, only behind that button. In the Satyakod app, a result also says when and where the code was first verified (“First verified today at 10:42 in Pune. This is scan 1.”), which shows a copied code at a glance. When you add a Support phone in Settings → Scan page, Suspicious and Counterfeit results in the app also offer Call brand. Shoppers can share a result as a link; it shows the same result again (for 90 days) without counting as another scan or offering points. On a phone, the page also offers Open in the Satyakod app: the app opens on the same result (not another scan), or the shopper is sent to the App Store or Google Play first. The app keeps their scans and tells them if a product they scanned is recalled.

Languages

The page is available in English, हिन्दी, मराठी, ગુજરાતી, বাংলা, தமிழ், తెలుగు and ಕನ್ನಡ. It opens in the default language you choose or, if you leave that to the phone, in the language of the customer’s phone when it is one of these (otherwise English). The customer can switch from the menu at the top; the page remembers their choice. Switching language doesn’t count as a second scan.

Setting it up

Settings → Scan page (admins):
  1. Default language: the language the page opens in for everyone. Leave it on The visitor’s phone language to follow each phone instead.
  2. Report fakes on WhatsApp, in international format such as +919812345678, and/or Report fakes by email. With both, WhatsApp is used.
Products (admins, operations and packaging engineers): open a product and fill in After a genuine scan: note, product page and warranty registration (full addresses starting with https://). The CSV import accepts the same columns: consumer_note, info_url, warranty_url. Columns you leave out of the file are kept as they are.

Marketing messages

With Ask app users for consent on (Settings → Scan page), the Satyakod app asks after a genuine scan whether the person wants your offers and new products, in their language and with your weekly limit: “Hear from Acme Auto Parts? Offers and new products, at most 2 a week. You can stop any time.” Each yes is recorded with the exact words they saw, the language and the time; the page shows how many phones have said yes. Nobody’s name or number is shared with you. People stop with one tap: under Offers from brands in the app’s profile, or from the stop link in any marketing message (Campaigns). Messages per phone per week (1 to 7) caps how many marketing messages one phone gets from you. Recall and copied-code notices are service messages: they reach everyone who scanned the batch, whether or not they said yes to marketing.

”Scan to verify” poster

Settings → Scan page → “Scan to verify” poster gives a printable poster for shops, counters and packaging inserts: your brand, a QR code that opens your scanner page and three steps, in any of the eight languages, in A4 or A6. Pick the language and size, open it, then use Print (or save as PDF from the print dialog).
