What's shipping on Rad Dad Labs. The list is curated to what retailers, brands, and distributors actually see — internal infrastructure work lives in the repo history.

Brand pricing is now four tiers by barcode count: Free up to 5, $99 for 6–20, $199 for 21–50, $299 for 51 and up. Retailers stay free with a $35 Pro tier replacing the prior $49 Plus. Distributors run $99/mo + $10/mo per retailer with a 60-day free trial. The reset lowers the entry floor for early brands and retailers; iteration framework remains in LABS-PRICING governance.
When a Lab Results link can't resolve, the page now tells you why: not found (barcode never registered), pending (registered but no COA yet), or offboarded (was here, brand removed it — returns 410 Gone). Each state has a brand-aligned page with a useful next step for whoever scanned it.
Open /lookup on a phone, hit Scan, point at a UPC. Resolves through the same registry as typed lookups. Native BarcodeDetector where available, ZXing fallback elsewhere. Camera permission is per-tab and gesture-gated.
When a brand publishes a COA at their own URL (no PDF on Labs storage), the lookup result now surfaces a direct View COA link. Brands can keep hosting wherever; retailers and consumers reach the same document.
How the Shopify metafield wiring actually works — variant-level scope, the contract for the rdlabs.coa_url field, the three failure modes a retailer should expect, and the smoke test to verify a connection. Written for a retailer's tech team, not for marketing.
