Checkify

Age verification for WooCommerce

Verify age before the order goes through.

Add Checkify to WooCommerce and ask customers to prove the required age threshold at the point that matters — without turning your store into an identity-document database.

Server-side checkout blocking when the required proof is missing.

The checkout problem

You need an age answer. Not their entire identity.

Age-restricted stores need confidence that a customer meets the required threshold. That doesn’t mean every merchant needs copies of passports, selfies and full dates of birth sitting in WooCommerce.

Verify at the right moment

Request age proof when the customer reaches the protected purchase flow.

Receive the answer

WooCommerce gets the configured verification result.

Collect less

Avoid defaulting to unnecessary underlying identity data simply to establish an age threshold.

How it works

From checkout to verified in one flow.

1 Customer shops normally

No age interruption while they browse unless the merchant configures one.

2 Checkout requires age proof

When the protected purchase reaches the configured enforcement point: Over 18?

3 Customer uses Checkify

They complete the Checkify verification flow.

4 WooCommerce receives the result

Over 18 ✓

5 Order continues

If the required proof is valid, checkout can continue. If it isn’t, the order cannot complete.

Answers, Not Documents

That’s the answer the store needed.

Age verification

✓ Over 18

Verified with Checkify

Answers, Not Documents.

A clearer approach

Age verification without the identity handover.

Traditional identity collection

  • Identity document
  • Date of birth
  • Selfie
  • Additional personal details
  • Merchant may need to handle more sensitive information

Checkify

  • Merchant asks: Over 18?
  • Customer completes the configured Checkify flow
  • Merchant receives: Yes ✓

Checkify Pass

What’s a Checkify Pass?

A Checkify Pass tells Checkify what your store needs the customer to prove.

Simple credit model

Age verification uses Checkify credits.

Completed age checks use credits from your Checkify balance according to current pricing.

Age verification · 5 credits per completed check

Example: 100 completed age checks → 500 credits.

Where stores use it

Built for age-restricted WooCommerce stores.

Vape

Verify the required age threshold before protected purchases.

Alcohol

Add age assurance to supported WooCommerce purchase flows.

Other age-restricted products

Configure the required age proof around applicable products and categories.

Membership / restricted access

Use another supported Checkify Pass where eligibility rather than age is required.

Age thresholds and merchant obligations vary by product and jurisdiction. Checkify provides verification technology; merchants remain responsible for configuring and enforcing the appropriate requirements for their business.

Need to know they’re human too?

Human verification is available too.

Checkify can also provide a human proof for supported WordPress store and account flows — separate from your WooCommerce age gate.
