Effort
A few months

Retailers must upgrade POS systems to handle new digital product identifiers replacing barcodes.

Create conversion tools that help stores map old barcodes to new digital IDs and test systems.

Charge retailers for the migration tools they'll need to comply.

Start with a simple barcode-to-digitalID converter for small stores.

Risk is large POS providers quickly adding this functionality themselves.
