With ID scanning on, scan the barcode on the back of the license — New Sale asks for it on age-restricted sales, and Check ID lets you scan any time.

Steps

1. Turn it on once: Admin → New Sale → ID scan age check → "Scan an ID to verify age on age-restricted sales".
2. Choose Check ID on: Sales with alcohol, or Every sale.
3. At New Sale, a cart with an age-restricted item asks for the ID before it can be paid.
4. To check any time, press Check ID next to the search box.
5. Scan the barcode on the back of the license with the scanner, or press Use camera, then Verify.

Good to know

• Minimum age is 21 and can't be changed. An expired or unreadable ID is refused too.
• Every check is logged and a refusal is recorded automatically. The name and full license number are never stored.
• A pass from Check ID counts for the sale you're ringing.
