Age verification is imperative for all online sales of age restricted products such as tobacco, e-cigarettes, wine and spirits. States such as Texas and Massachusetts have already passed regulations mandating that online retailers selling age restricted products verify consumer information against consumer databases to ensure that consumers are of legal age to purchase their products. Self-certification of age (e.g. having a consumer click a button or submit their age or date of birth) is not sufficient to maintain compliance with these regulations.
The EVS Age Verification App automated integration with IdentiFraud Consumer+ to allow for true age verification to meet compliance requirements within Shopify. The app will perform the following functions within your Shopify Store:
Adds a birthdate field to the registration form
Creates a new set of integration credentials within the IdentiFlo Management Platform
Performs an IdentiFraud Consumer+ transaction each time a new customer places their first order
Tags the customer as verified for each successful verification
Tags any order from a customer that could not be verified as needing manual verification
The verification process is performed in the background, allowing you to maintain compliance without impacting the checkout process for your customers. Transaction history is stored within the IdentiFlo Management Platform, ensuring that you always have an audit trail to prove your compliance with age verification regulations.
