The products sold by a client of ours now fall under Federal regulation, and their customers must be age-verified before purchasing these products.

We extended the OnePageCheckout.asp process to incorporate a new "age verification" panel.  That panel appears in the checkout flow after the "shipping options" panel, and prior to the "payment options" panel.

As there is a fee for each submitted transaction, we set a maximum number of 2 attempts before the shopper is required to upload an image of their photo id.  The store admin has been equipped with tools that facilitate examining the photo id image, and manually flagging the customer as having proven their age.

The system also includes audit-trail and reporting tools, and an admin tool for states, since different states enforce the new rules for ages ranging from 18-21.  Additionally, we only enforce age verification for qualifying products.  The store sells products that are not regulated, therefore if a cart only contains unregulated items, there is no point in performing the age verification process.

Since there is a fee for each transaction, I'm not posting the client's site here, as that might lead to increased costs (to our client) for folks simply looking to demonstrate the feature.  But if you have a genuine need for this integration, please contact me directly and I will be more than happy to demonstrate the system to you.

We believe that this integration has the potential of allowing ProductCart to gain new appeal to merchants who might not otherwise consider this platform, were it not for this new feature.
