How-to · Setting up

Sell alcohol, tobacco and other age restricted products

Mark the product and the Merchant Display asks the customer's age before payment. Ages and hours are set under Setup.

Beer, cigarettes, vapes, adult products, scratch cards: mark each one and the Merchant Display stops before payment until the cashier has checked the customer's age.

Mark the products

Open Products (or Menu in a restaurant). When you add an item, choose under Age restricted: Alcohol, Tobacco and vapes, Adult products, Lottery and gaming or Other. An item already on the list has the same choice on its row.

Set the ages and the hours

Open Setup and tap Age verification. For a location in the US, alcohol and tobacco start at 21 and adult products at 18, which is federal law. Lottery has no age until you set one, and a location outside the US sets every age itself; until then the Merchant Display will not sell that kind and says so.

For each kind you can raise the Minimum age, set the hours it is Sold from and until, and untick the days it is not sold. Outside those hours the tile says Not sold now.

Ask for ID from anyone who looks under is your house rule, 40 to start. Set it to 0 to ask everybody. Tick Require a scanned ID; a typed date of birth is not enough if a typed date is never acceptable at your counter.

Tap Save age verification.

What is kept

Nothing off the ID. Activity records that a check passed or was refused, for which kind and age, and how: scanned, typed or by eye. No date of birth, no name, no licence number is ever stored.
