Online Verification Solutions for Age-Restricted Commerce

Age Restricted Commerce

When accessibility to age-restricted goods and services is in question, age verification is necessary to prevent minors from purchasing restricted products. But age verification works and vice versa as well. Companies need to prevent adults from taking advantage of products only for  those under 18’s or keep adults away from sites which are designed for children.

Heavily-regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol, and video games must implement stringent age verification processes to protect themselves from being subpoenaed by the court. However, limited guidance on best compliance practices has added to the growing challenges for retailers and online gaming businesses.

IDMERIT’s Age Verification solutions help businesses conduct more comprehensive identity verification to mitigate the risk of fraud.
