How to Verify a Customer’s Identity Using TOT’s Platform

How to verify a customer?

Once the setup is complete, your customers will be able to submit their identification documents during checkout. Here’s how the verification process works from start to finish:

Step 1: Customer Uploads Documents During Checkout

As part of the checkout process, customers will be prompted to upload their identification documents. TOT makes this easy by offering a secure, user-friendly interface for document uploads. Customers simply:

  • Upload a clear image or scan of their ID, passport, or any other requested document.
  • Ensure that the image is high-quality to meet the verification requirements.

Step 2: Verification Process Overview

Once the customer uploads their document, TOT’s system analyzes it in real time. The platform’s machine learning algorithms check the document for:

  • Authenticity: It verifies that the document matches security standards, checking for things like holograms and watermarks.
  • Clarity and Completeness: The system ensures that the uploaded document is legible and all necessary details are present.
  • Matching Information: If needed, the system compares the details on the document with the customer’s information submitted during checkout.

Step 3: Approving or Rejecting the Verification

After the document has been analyzed, the system will provide the results:

  • Approval: If the document passes the verification checks, the customer’s identity is confirmed, and their order proceeds as normal.
  • Rejection: If the document fails any of the checks, the system will flag it as invalid. You’ll be notified of the rejection, and you can choose to manually review the case if needed.

Based on the results, you can take the appropriate action:

  • Approve the Verification: If everything checks out, approve the document, and proceed with processing the order.
  • Reject the Verification: If the document is suspicious or invalid, reject the verification and request further documentation from the customer, or cancel the order altogether.
