Some businesses sell controlled products which are not to be sold to underage customers. The Age Verification feature of POSitive will help document proper sales and deter improper sales.
Age Verification Options
•No Age Verification Prompts - select this option if you have no inventory restrictions; all products can be sold to anyone of any age
•Prompt To Check ID - the clerk will be reminded to ask to see some identification. The clerk will then choose Approve or Decline.
•Prompt To Enter Birthdate - the clerk will be asked to enter the customer's birthdate. POSitive will then compare the date entered with the computer system date and calculate to see if the minimum age is reached. This is a more dynamic method for verifying because requires the clerk to be more interactive.
•Prompt To Scan Driver's License - some states issue a driver's license which has a magnetic stripe. Using the same magnetic stripe reader used for credit cards, POSitive can read the data on the driver's license and extract birthdate information for verification purposes.
•Assure that your card reader will be able to read swipes.

TIP - click on the TEST button for an explanation and test of your Mag Stripe Reader
Note: Mag Stripe readers typically read tracks 1 and 2 from a credit or debit card. Some readers break the two tracks into two line, while others do not separate the two tracks.
Scan a driver's license into a non-word wrap text box and observe how it is displayed in the text box. If it displays as one continuous line, choose the first option. If it displays as two lines choose the second option.
