Convenience stores sell the widest range of age-restricted goods at the highest volume, and the highest staff turnover. Carded gives every clerk a one-tap 21+ or 18+ check on any phone, flags expired IDs, and logs every scan by clerk and shift.
A convenience store rings up beer, cigarettes, vapes, and lottery all day, at speed, often with staff who started last week. That combination, many age-restricted categories, high volume, and constant turnover, is exactly where an underage sale slips through. Alcohol and tobacco compliance stings target c-stores relentlessly, and corporate and franchise standards demand a documented carding process.
Carded makes the check one tap for every clerk, on the phone or tablet already at the counter. Switch between 21+ for alcohol and tobacco and 18+ where it applies, get an instant verdict with an automatic expiration flag, and tag every scan to the clerk on shift so accountability is built in from day one.
Carded reads the PDF417 barcode on the back of the ID, the wide striped block, and decodes the real date of birth and expiration instantly. No typing, no math, no squinting.
One tap, one glance. Carded does the age math, the expiration check, and the record-keeping, so your staff can just say yes or no.
Point the camera at the barcode on the back of any US or Canadian ID. Carded decodes the name, date of birth, ID number, and expiration in under a second.
A big green PASS or red UNDER, plus a buzz and a chime. Flip between 21+ and 18+ for different sales.
Instantly flags an expired ID against today’s date, no mental math, no missed dates.
Catches the same ID scanned twice, and throws a red DO NOT SERVE for any ID you’ve flagged.
Every scan is tagged with the device, the staff member, and the time. Export a CSV or a printable compliance report for any date range, proof you carded every customer.
Everything runs in the browser on the device. IDs are hashed, outcomes only are stored, and nothing is uploaded or sold, nothing to breach.
Beer, tobacco, vape, lottery, flip between 21+ and 18+ with a tap and get the right verdict for whatever’s on the counter.
Sign the clerk in and every scan is tagged with their name. New hires card correctly from their first shift, and you can see who checked what.
Every scan is recorded with the register, the clerk, and the time. Export a report by date range for a franchise audit or a compliance review.
A one-tap check keeps a fast line moving while every restricted sale gets carded properly.
Same instant verification at the pay window or kiosk, on any device you name.
Name each store and register so your logs show exactly where and when every sale was carded.
Every scan runs Carded IntegrityEngine, validating the ID’s barcode against the DMV (AAMVA) standard, matching its issuer number to the state printed on the card, and cross-checking the encoded dates. It catches the scannable fakes and altered birth dates a basic age scan waves through, flagging anything off with a clear “Review this ID.” It’s a strong fraud signal, not a guarantee, so your team still eyes the card, and now they know which ones to look at twice.
If you deliver age-restricted orders, add DeliveryPro to any plan. After a 21+ pass, capture the recipient’s name and signature, a not-visibly-intoxicated confirmation, an optional photo, and the GPS delivery address, then export a delivery report your state can require. Works offline; records stay on the device.
