Abstract: A system and method are provided for electronically verifying age-restricted purchases using biometric data and digital communication. The method comprises: receiving an application from a website via an electronic device; creating a customer account linked to the customer; and gathering biometric information—such as facial structures and thumbprints—using the customer's communication device. An approved customer receives a token. During a purchase, the customer scans an age-restricted product, and the store device prompts for self-age verification. The customer's biometric data is used to access the web application in purchase mode. The store device provides a transaction token barcode/QR code, scanned by the customer, which combines with the customer token to form a request token. This request token is sent to a centralized server for processing. Upon approval, an approval token is received by the store device, authorizing the age-restricted purchase.

Abstract: The method and system of the present invention allows the present invention to electronically verify age restricted purchases. The method of the present invention includes a step of receiving an application from a website using an electronic device. The next step creates a customer account on the website. The customer account is linked with the customer. The present invention then includes a step of providing biometric information linked with the customer. The biometric scanner is utilizing the native biometric functions of the customer's communication device to gather visual information such as facial structures and thumbprints. The present invention then includes a step of providing a customer token to an approved customer. A customer will scan an age restricted product. The store device will initiate a subroutine asking the customer if they want to do a self-age verification.
