Stop Losing Money to Age-Related Returns
shopify store.
Every adult goods Shopify store has been here:
Losing hundreds of dollars every month because of “Adult Signature Required” returns?
Shipments coming back every week?
Chargebacks like “I never ordered this” or “I never received it”?
Tried pop-ups like “I’m 18+” or date-of-birth fields — but minors still slip through?
New laws demanding stronger, multi-step age verification checks?
Every month, Shopify stores selling age-restricted products lose 20–30% of shipments due to failed age verification and delivery issues:
No adult or valid ID at the address
The buyer turns out underage.
Couriers make one or two attempts, then return the package.
Customers file chargebacks claiming non-delivery.
And those losses will keep growing into thousands of dollars Every Single Month.
Solution? AI Age Verification!
Pre-checkout Age Verification prevents under-age orders and failed “Adult Signature” deliveries before you ship—so parcels reach the right hands the first time.
Turn Age Checks into Profit
Stop funding failed deliveries and disputes. Keep the margin.
With Verage, your customers are verified at checkout — so packages reach the right hands the first time. No more failed deliveries, disputes, or refunds. Just smooth sales.
Save real money, not hypotheticals
Prevent age-related returns and “Adult Signature” failures before fulfillment. Keep the shipping you already paid for and stop paying for returns, re-attempts, and handling.
Reduce Returns & Chargebacks
Pre-checkout verification gives you proof (timestamped result, selfie/ID match) that wins disputes and reduces friendly fraud.
Instant verification at checkout
One quick selfie or ID scan. Verified in seconds, then straight to payment. Zero pop-up theatre, real compliance.
Lower friction, higher delivery success
Customers know upfront that ID is required. Couriers see a “Verified at Checkout” flag — fewer door-fails, more first-attempt deliveries.
Compliant across regions
Align with UK/EU/US/CA requirements for 18+ goods, including multi-step checks and POS verification.
