Overview
AgeMatch is Veratad’s Industry Leading Age Verification Solution designed to protect children from unauthorized access to online age restricted content and merchandise, while protecting businesses from potential compliance liability -- Veratad.com. Once enabled, your store will verify the customer's age with Veratad by using the order's ship to name and address. If the customer's age is not verified by Veratad, the order status will be changed to the "Unverified Order Status."
