Complete Transparency, Made Simple
How TraceOrigins Works
From farm to QR code in four simple phases. Turn your honest production practices into verifiable stories that customers can see, trust, and share.
Phase 1
Set Up Your Producer Profile
Create your digital identity as a producer. This becomes the foundation of trust for all your products.
Register Your Account
Sign up with your email and basic business information. The process takes less than 5 minutes and requires no technical expertise.
Complete Your Producer Story
Tell customers who you are, your production philosophy, and what makes your products special. Include photos of your farm, workshop, or production facility.
Pin Your Location
Drop a pin on an interactive map showing exactly where your products originate. Customers will see this precise location when they scan your QR codes.
Upload Certifications
Add any organic certifications, fair-trade credentials, quality standards, or third-party validations. These display with verified badges on your product pages.
Phase 2
Document Your Production Pipeline
Build a transparent, step-by-step record of how your product moves from source to finished good.
Create Product Entry
Add a new product with its name, description, batch ID, and origin details. Each product gets a unique digital identity.
Add Pipeline Steps
Document each stage of production -- harvesting, processing, packaging, etc. Include dates, locations, and descriptions for every step.
Upload Visual Documentation
Add photos or videos at each pipeline step. Visual proof builds trust and helps customers connect emotionally with your story.
Map Supply Chain Partners
If your product involves multiple locations or partners (cooperatives, processors, distributors), add them to create a complete supply chain map.
Phase 3
Generate & Deploy Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
Turn your documentation into scannable QR codes that link customers to your product's complete story.
Generate Unique QR Codes
Our system automatically creates a unique QR code for each product or batch. One click generates codes in multiple formats (PNG, SVG, PDF).
Download Print-Ready Files
Get high-resolution QR codes ready for printing on labels, packaging, marketing materials, or point-of-sale displays.
Integrate with Packaging
Add QR codes to your product labels, tags, or packaging. They can be printed, embossed, or included as stickers -- whatever fits your product best.
Update Anytime Without Reprinting
Your QR code stays the same forever, but you can update the linked information anytime. Fix typos, add photos, or update certifications without reprinting labels.
Phase 4
Customer Scans & Shares
Customers scan your QR code and instantly access your product's verified origin story, building trust at the point of decision.
Mobile-Optimized Trace Pages
When scanned, customers see a beautiful, mobile-friendly page with your product story, origin map, certifications, and visual documentation.
Interactive Supply Chain Map
Customers can explore an interactive map showing exactly where ingredients were grown, where production happened, and the complete journey to their hands.
Social Sharing Built-In
Customers can share your product story on social media directly from the trace page, turning satisfied buyers into brand ambassadors.
Analytics & Insights
You see exactly how many people scanned your QR codes, where they're located, and which products generate the most engagement.
