When it comes to selling age-restricted products, compliance isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal necessity. That’s why Register EPOS includes powerful built-in age verification tools designed to support your team, protect your business, and promote responsible retail.
Intelligent Prompts, Smarter Compliance
Register allows merchants to configure automatic prompts that appear the moment a restricted product is added to the basket. These prompts serve as a real-time reminder for the clerk to check the customer’s ID, ensuring no sale proceeds without due diligence.
Staff Permissions Built In
The first layer of protection starts with staff profiles. By storing the clerk’s date of birth in the system, Register automatically determines whether they’re eligible to sell age-restricted items. If the staff member is underage themselves, the system will prevent the sale from going further. If they are old enough, the system will prompt them to verify the customer’s age.
Know the Rules – and Record Them
Register doesn’t just prompt for action, it documents it too. Every time a staff member verifies a customer’s ID, a timestamp is recorded and pushed to the Register web portal. This gives business owners full traceability of age verification activity across their store(s), allowing them to monitor staff compliance with ease.
Clerks are also asked to provide a reason for accepting or refusing the sale. Accepted reasons might include:
- “ID checked – customer over 18”
- “Challenged 25 – ID confirmed”
Refusals could include:
- “Customer did not have ID”
- “Customer appeared underage”
Confidence at the Till
These features make Register not just a point of sale, but a point of responsibility. With age verification integrated directly into the sales flow, your team is empowered to make the right call — every time.
