Know who you're selling to,
before the order ships.

How it works

From order to verified in about two minutes.

No code, no theme changes. Set your rules once and it runs on every order.

A matching order comes in

Pick what needs a check: a collection, a product tag, orders over an amount, or shipments to certain countries. Add a minimum age if the product needs one.

The customer verifies on their phone

They get an email with a secure link, photograph their ID and take a selfie. Your branding, your message, nothing for them to install.

The order is tagged and released

Pass, and the order is tagged and its hold lifted. Fail, and it stays held. Unclear results land in your inbox to approve or decline.

Features

Everything a store needs. Nothing it doesn't.

🎯

Rules that fit your catalogue

Verify by collection, product tag, order value or shipping country, each with its own minimum age.

📱

Mobile-first for customers

A clean, branded page that works in any phone browser. ID scan, selfie, done.

⏸️

Hold until verified

Fulfilment is held while a check is pending, then released automatically when the customer passes.

🧑‍⚖️

You make the final call

Blurry photo, or a name that differs slightly? Review the details and approve or decline in one click.

🔁

Remembers repeat customers

Verified once, they skip the check next time. You choose how long a verification stays valid.

🏷️

Tags in your Shopify admin

Every order is labelled, so you can filter, report and automate with the tools you already use.

In your control

Clear results, not a black box.

See what the check found: document type, whether the name matches the order, whether a live person was confirmed, and any flags. Then decide.

  • Open any verification to see the ID photo and selfie
  • Age and name on the ID checked against the order
  • Override any decision, with a note
Privacy by design

See the ID. Don't hoard it.

Identity documents are the most sensitive data a store can touch. IDReady lets you review them when you need to, then makes sure they don't stick around.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which documents are accepted?

Government-issued photo ID such as driver's licences, passports and national ID cards from over 100 countries.

Do you store my customers' ID photos?

Not on our servers. The photos are held by our verification partner for the period you choose (30 days by default, up to 90, or none) so you can review them, then deleted for good. We keep the outcome: pass or fail, document type and country. See the privacy policy.

Will it slow down checkout?

No. The check happens after the order is placed, so checkout is untouched. Fulfilment is held until the customer passes.

What if a customer can't or won't verify?

The link expires after the number of days you choose and the order stays held. You can withdraw the request, approve manually, or cancel the order as you normally would.

What does it cost per verification?

Each plan includes a set number of verifications; extra ones are a flat per-check price shown above. Only completed checks are counted.

Is this legal advice?

No. IDReady is a tool that supports your decisions. You remain responsible for the rules that apply to what you sell.
