How Zero-Friction Age Verification Works
Most buyers never see a verification roadblock. Only unverified orders trigger automated secondary workflows.
Seamless Date-of-Birth Capture
Embedded natively in checkout via Checkout UI Extensions (Shopify Plus) or pre-checkout cart attributes (Standard Shopify). No pop-up roadblocks.
Instant Background Demographic Match
Cross-references customer name, billing address, and birth date against Veratad’s identity network. Up to 95% of legitimate buyers pass silently without ever seeing an ID upload prompt.
Thank You Page ID Scan Fallback & Fulfillment Hold
Customers who cannot be matched by database are seamlessly presented with a camera-enabled photo ID scan on the Thank You / Order Confirmation page. The order is placed on an automatic fulfillment hold in Shopify Admin until verified.
Engineered for Conversion & Compliance
Everything you need to automate age gating without losing legitimate buyers.
Granular Jurisdiction & Category Rules Engine
Set custom age thresholds and verification requirements by country, state/province, and product category. Sell beer at 18 in the UK and spirits at 21 in the US. Verify orders only shipping to specific states, or exempt non-regulated apparel and merch while strictly gating regulated SKUs.
Subscription Orders & Returning Customer Bypass
Verified buyers have their compliance token stamped into customer metafields. Returning customers bypass verification on checkout, and recurring subscription renewal orders validate automatically without customer friction.
Automated Drop-off Recovery Links
For buyers who close their browser before scanning their ID, automated post-purchase recovery links let them complete their scan on their mobile phone, automatically releasing the order hold.
Automatic Fulfillment Protection
Zero merchant liability. Unverified orders are instantly flagged and placed on fulfillment hold in Shopify Admin with clear timeline tags. Orders release automatically the moment an ID scan passes.

Session & Identity Caching
Verification tokens are cached securely throughout checkout. Customers modifying their cart are never re-verified.

Logged-in returning customers with verified metafield tokens bypass verification entirely without generating API calls.
Smart Demographic Deduplication
Orders from the same verified customer within a billing cycle do not incur redundant check fees.
Bank-Grade Privacy & Platform Compliance
Built to protect merchant liability and respect customer privacy at every step.
Absolute Zero-Knowledge
Modlet servers never store customer photo IDs or raw government document images. Document scans process directly with Veratad's secure identity cloud.
Automated Data Purge
Session tokens and transient verification state are automatically purged following order completion according to strict retention schedules.
Zero PII Retention
Only cryptographic verification status tokens and timestamps are stamped to order metafields. Customer PII is never monetized or retained.
