More vendors are selling knives online than ever before, which can, of course, cause complications when it comes to verifying ages.
It is illegal to sell knives to anyone who is underage. If you are an online retailer, you are responsible for ensuring that you are selling your product to consumers who are of a legal age.
If you offer a seamless and streamlined age verification service – this will ensure you are remaining compliant and legal, without causing problems to your bottom-line.
We have worked with AgeChecked since 2018 during which time they have provided our business with a real time Age Verification service. Their software has been integrated with our Shopify platforms and seamlessly verifies and validates customers data prior to orders being accepted. We have found the team friendly and professional and we would confidently recommend AgeChecked as a reliable expert vendor in this field.

This is our easiest approach to age verification requiring no integration and performed at any point after the sale is complete. A simple method of age verification allows you to upload all customer details via a csv file, which will produce a list of results verifying which customers have passed or failed the age check. Each failed check will produce a secondary verification method which can be sent to the customer to offer alternative methods of verifying their age.
This secure check takes place in the background when the customer has filled in their personal details during the sales or onboarding process. AgeChecked will verify the customer’s details to ensure that the customer is over the required age. This provides a very seamless and effective solution to age verification.
