A global licensing service facilitates the mapping of consumers to purchases made by the consumer in one or more stores. One or more consumer identifiers used by a consumer in various stores are stored in a central data store. The various consumer identifiers are mapped to purchases made by the consumer to provide a centralized transaction mapping. The global licensing service may enable cross-store licensing by providing a way in which a store may determine that a consumer has previously purchased a product in another store. In some implementations, if the consumer has previously purchased a product, the consumer may be offered the product for free or offered a discount price for the product.
