Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate relating users in an online social network. In one embodiment, the system can receive a first registration code of a first physical toy via a first scanning device and modify a first user account to include the first registration code. The system can also receive a second registration code of a second physical toy via a second scanning device and modify a second user account to include the second registration code. Responsive to the system then receiving the second registration code via the first scanning device, and receiving the first registration code via the second scanning device, the system can compare the first user account with the second user account. Based on the comparison, the system can identify a transaction between the first and second user accounts to generate a link in the social network between the first and second user accounts.
