Remember verified customers

Real ID can track which of your customers have already completed ID verification once. This way your customers can return and make repeat purchases without requiring ID verification on each purchase.

If enabled, Real ID will remember repeat customers and not require already verified customers to provide photos again.

Enabling Remembering Repeat Customers​

In the settings of the app, open the Automations tab. If you're using ID verification after checkout open the Exceptions tab.

Then click the checkbox next to Customers only need to verify once to enable the feature.

How to enable remember repeat ID verified customers

How are verified customers tracked?​

Real ID automatically tags orders and customer profiles in your Shopify dashboard. When a customer completes ID verification, their profile is tagged with ID verification completed. Additionally, if you elect to manually approve an ID check, the customer will be tagged with ID check manually approved. Either one of these tags counts the customer as permanently verified for future orders.

When that customer returns to your store to checkout again, Real ID will automatically see the "ID verification completed" tag on their profile and not prompt for ID verification again.
