Collectibles ​

A collectible is a digital item a shopper holds in their account. Brands use them as proof of something — a purchase, a visit, taking part in a campaign — and as a key that unlocks something else.

What you can do with it ​

Browse what exists ​

Stores can list collectibles, group them by category, and highlight trending ones.

See what you hold ​

The account area lists the shopper's own collectibles, and each has its own page.

Use one ​

Collectibles can be redeemed, and can make a shopper eligible for things they would not otherwise get — a campaign, a reward, or a discount the brand has tied to holding it.

Follow it into a campaign ​

Where a collectible is tied to a campaign, the shopper can go from the collectible to the campaign it belongs to. See Campaigns.

Transfer one to someone else ​

Collectibles can change hands. See Transferring ownership.

What a collectible is not ​

Batch collectibles are records held in a shopper's account. There is no chain behind them, nothing is minted, no crypto wallet is involved, and there are no rarity tiers or a trading market. Transfers move a record between accounts, through the store, with the recipient's agreement.

A separate, optional wallet feature exists

Some brands run a blockchain wallet section on their store, which displays NFTs a shopper holds externally and can award prizes from them. That is a distinct, per-brand feature and is not what "collectible" means here — the two should not be conflated. See Wallets and NFT prizes.
