What is E- Test Purchasing?
Online Test Purchasing, also known as Mystery Shopping, involves deploying undercover shoppers to attempt purchasing age-restricted products. This method assesses the effectiveness of a business’s age verification processes, ensuring compliance with legal requirements. Our service provides businesses with an independent evaluation to strengthen their age verification procedures.
How Our Service Works:
• Customized Test Plans: Tailored test plans are crafted to suit your business type, product range, and compliance needs.
• Anonymous Purchases: Trained mystery shoppers make anonymous attempts to buy age-restricted products from your online platform.
• Verification Testing: Each purchase attempt evaluates the efficiency of age verification mechanisms, including identity checks and age verification prompts.
• Detailed Reporting: A comprehensive report outlines findings from the mystery shopping exercise, pinpointing areas of non-compliance or potential improvement.
• Recommendations for Improvement: Based on findings, actionable recommendations are provided to fortify age verification processes and ensure regulatory compliance.
Benefits:
- Compliance Assurance: Avoid potential fines and legal issues by ensuring your business adheres to age verification laws.
- Enhanced Reputation: Showcase your commitment to responsible selling practices, bolstering trust among customers, regulators, and stakeholders.
