Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for tracking physical delivery of a batch of products through a third party system and registration of the batch of products with a seller using a non-recurring secure identifier for the batch of products are provided. The computer-implemented method and system allow for generating a non-recurring secure identifier for a batch of products containing one or more products; assigning the non-recurring secure identifier to the batch of products; and using the non-recurring secure identifier for associating the batch of products with an account of a recipient, wherein the batch of products are enabled to receive services associated with the account.
