      VeriScan/Dutchie ID scanning Integration

      Overview of the Dutchie ID scanning module, powered by VeriScan software

      VeriScan is a cloud-based ID scanning and age verification tool that syncs seamlessly with the Dutchie platform. IDScan.net is the parent company of the VeriScan product.


      If you’d like more information on ID scanning for dispensaries, check out the IDScan.net web page on cannabis dispensary ID scanning. 


      VeriScan scans the 2D barcode on the back of the ID, or the machine readable zone (MRZ) on a passport, and parses the information stored there, allowing you to validate and check-in customers quickly and efficiently. Newly scanned IDs will create new Dutchie customer profiles, and subsequent ID scans will add to the customer’s visit history.


      VeriScan also provides age verification and ID authentication. Age verification can be performed using any device. ID authentication and catching fake IDs requires specialty hardware such as the CR5400 or M500. All Dutchie-compatible hardware can be purchased directly on the IDScan.net website.

      Things to know

      VeriScan ID scanning is compatible with Windows, Android, and iOS. Contact your sales representative for information about alternative ID scanning solutions for macOS.


      If you want to use VeriScan for multiple unique guest lists (Adult Use vs. Medical in the same location, or different store locations) you'll need separate PCs or tablets for each guest list and an ID scanner for each PC or tablet.


      The E-Seek M280 ID scanner works for most states' IDs. Colorado IDs issued between 2016 and 2021 have a barcode defect that requires the E-Seek M500 ID scanner.


      If you haven't already purchased ID scanners through Dutchie, you can order them from IDscan.net. You do not need to purchase any software from IDScan.net, your ID scanning licenses will be billed through your Dutchie account.


      If you are looking to catch a high degree of fake IDs or meet the highest standards of age verification, you will want to purchase VeriScan Authentication, and will need an ID scanner capable of performing document authentication. The E-Seek M500, Thales AT9K, and Thales CR5400 are all compatible with VeriScan Authentication. The IDScan.net team can help you purchase VeriScan Authentication.

      Install and use VeriScan on a PC

      Step One: Install the VeriScan Desktop app

      (Skip this section if you're using a Panasonic TOUGHBOOK FZ-N1)

      VeriScan Desktop syncs directly with VeriScan Online and Dutchie. However, the desktop application leverages the computing power of your machine to perform the algorithmic checks on the ID.


      1. Go to IDScan.net’s Downloads & Manuals Page and click the Download button under VeriScan Desktop.
        • Do not check the Install Veriscan as a Service box.
        • You do not need to register the software.
        • Click VeriScan Desktop Manual to download the software manual for reference.
      2. Install the necessary drivers for your scanner. 

      All hardware drivers can be found on the IDScan.net Hardware Drivers Page.


      Step Two: Set up and connect the VeriScan Desktop app

      1. Open VeriScan Desktop and go to Setup > Set Data Sources.
      2. Select the Enable VeriScan Cloud box and enter your Device Login and Password.

        You can view and update your device logins and passwords in VeriScan Online by going to Settings > Devices and clicking the Edit icon.

       

      Step Three: Use VeriScan on a PC

      The ID Scan integration is now set up, and you are ready to test.

      • Open the Dutchie POS Register and click on Guest List (do not use Security Check-In)
      • Use the Top Down Insert with a Drivers License. If you hear a beep, the ID was scanned successfully.
      • When you scan the ID of a customer whose Dutchie POS profile information is an exact match to their ID, the customer is automatically checked in.
      • When you scan the ID of a customer who does not have a matching profile in Dutchie POS, VeriScan automatically inputs and parses their ID information to create a new customer profile.
