Who is a bercode owner?
A Bercode holder is the owner of a special, uniquely identifiable 18-character long string of numbers: a barcode.
How does someone become a bercode owner?
- If anyone in your circle of acquaintances has a valid bercode, they can share or transfer it to you using the platform or the Bercode application. Shared, transferred bercodes are displayed in the Bercode menu, Cards and others submenu within the Bercode owner services role. You and your friends can use the bercode shared with you without restriction, but you can no longer share this bercode with others because you are not the owner of this bercode. If your friend transfers their own bercode to you (e.g. your friend has more than one bercode and does not need one), you will now own that bercode. You can share this bercode with others (up to 10 shares are allowed with 1 bercode). The bercode sharing and transfer functions can be found in the Bercode menu, Bercode shares submenu.
- The number of bercode issuers who donate bercode carrier, such as a tangible or virtual customer / member card, to their customers, for example as a for-profit company or to their members as a non-profit organization, is constantly expanding. If you are a customer, employee, member, etc. of a bercode issuer, you can use the benefits and discounts provided by the Bercode platform with the bercode you receive from them.
- More and more influencers, artists, athletes, foundations allow their fans / supporters to buy bercoded products from them. This is another way for you become a bercode holder.
