VerifyAge
Age-gate the checkout, not your budget.
VerifyAge answers “is this buyer 21+?” for $0.15 a check — no $49/month floor, no $250/month identity platform. Two lines of JavaScript, live in an hour.
The problem
Regulated checkouts need age checks
Vape, alcohol delivery, CBD, and adult products face state-mandated age verification. Doing nothing isn't an option.
Identity platforms are overkill
Veriff runs $0.80/verification with a $49/mo minimum [verified Oct 2026]; Persona starts at $250/mo [verified Oct 2026]. A 300-checkout vape shop doesn't need a KYC onboarding suite.
Checkout deserves a checkout-scoped tool
You need an API that answers the age question at the buy button — not a compliance platform with a sales call.
Why VerifyAge
$0.15 per check, PAYG
Credits never expire. No minimums, no monthly floor, no platform fee. 5x cheaper per check than Veriff's $0.80 [verified Oct 2026].
Drop-in JS widget
Paste two lines of script, tag your checkout button, and the widget gates it: DOB modal, API call, click passes only on a pass.
REST API + audit trail
POST /v1/verify with your threshold (18/19/21/25). Every check is logged with a credit balance you can audit anytime.
Honest limits, up front
- The dob and self_declaration methods are check mechanisms, not legal proof of age in most regulated contexts.
- Document and estimation checks run through a connected verification provider. Until a live provider account is connected, sessions run through a sandbox provider and every result is labeled a simulation — sandbox results are not real verifications.
- The merchant remains responsible for legal compliance in their jurisdiction — thresholds, acceptable methods, and record-keeping vary by state and product category.
