How can I age verify my gifters with Yoti?

Webscoop helps creators sell a wide variety of services including wishlists and in this article, you'll learn how to age verify your gifters using Yoti before they purchase a gift item for you. This ensures you, as a creator, are interacting exclusively with adults and maintaining a digital record of age-verified clients. But first, let's understand what Yoti is. 

What is Yoti?

Yoti is a reliable digital identity platform that offers secure age verification services. It uses advanced methods like age estimation, which employs AI-powered facial analysis to estimate a person’s age without storing images, and ID scan verification, where users submit a government-issued ID along with a face scan to confirm their age and identity. Trusted by major platforms such as Meta and OnlyFans and used by over 12 million people worldwide, Yoti ensures secure document authentication. The best part is that Yoti deletes user data after verification, eliminating the risk of exposed documents or images.

Tutorial - Age Verification Workflow

1) Enabling Age Verification
Navigate to the "Wishlist" tab and click on "Add Product." In the "Add Product" popup, toggle the switch to enable age verification for this item.

2) Displaying Age Restriction
Once enabled, the item will display an "18+ only" tag on your wishlist, indicating that the gifter must complete age verification to purchase it. 

3) Age Verification Process
When a gifter enters their email and hasn’t previously been age-verified on Webscoop, a popup will prompt them to verify their age with a face scan. Yoti will attempt to estimate their age through a quick selfie. If the gifter appears to be over 21 years old, no physical ID is needed. If they appear underage, they will need to retry or proceed with full ID verification. 

4) Completing the Payment
Once the gifter is age-verified, they can proceed with the payment. Age verification is a one-time process, and we store clients' emails so they won’t need to verify their age again, even when purchasing from other models. 

5) Viewing Verification Status
After the gifter completes their purchase, you can view their age verification status and a detailed fee breakdown in your "Orders" section.
