Yoti Age Verification review

Yoti offers age checks for site operators. Its developer guide is where I’d look to see what happens after a visitor starts a check, especially if they return to the site while Yoti is still working on the result.

Show the visitor what the check will ask for

Yoti describes a camera-based age estimate and a separate way to share an age result from a digital ID wallet. The site operator chooses which methods to offer. If my site gave people a choice, I’d show the available methods before asking them to start.

Separate a result from a return to your site

Yoti says a document check can still be processing when the visitor is sent back. Its results guide distinguishes a check in progress, a missed age threshold, an error and a cancellation. It also distinguishes a threshold check from a request that returns an age value. Segpay Merchant Docs is a useful comparison for the separate payment step, where the site also needs to distinguish an approval from a decline.

Anabel’s take

I’d look at what the visitor sees while they wait. A check still in progress needs a different message from one that ended in an error. I’d want someone who stopped the check to see a clear way back to the list of available methods.
