A system and method for partite optically readable codes are provided. The method includes: scanning at least one component of the partite optically readable code, wherein the partite optically readable code comprises of at least two components; determining whether the remaining components of the partite optically readable code are accessible; combining all the components of the partite optically readable code; and decoding the partite optically readable code. The system includes: a scanning module configured to retrieve a component of a partite optically readable code, wherein the partite optically readable code comprises at least two components; and a code module configured to receive the component from the scanning module, the code module further configured to determine whether the remaining components of the partite optically readable code are accessible, to combine the components of the partite optically readable code, and to decode the partite optically readable code.
