Why Retailers Switch from eCheckpoint
Compliance capability is table stakes. Here's where the day-to-day experience diverges.
Predictable, Transparent Pricing
eCheckpoint offers no public pricing — enterprise quotes typically run 5–10x more expensive per transaction (per Orchid Advisors). ShipToVerified is simple usage pricing: $1 full ID checks, $0.50 customer memory, $0.10 address validation, with no setup fee. No surprises, no annual contract negotiations.
Works With Your Platform, Not Just One
eCheckpoint's primary integration is through Celerant's POS and eComm stack, and it also offers a WooCommerce plugin and BigCommerce app. ShipToVerified differentiates through its REST API for custom platforms and its post-checkout verification workflow.
A Better Experience for Your Customers
eCheckpoint blocks the purchase at checkout until verification is complete — creating friction, abandoned carts, and frustrated customers. ShipToVerified uses post-checkout verification: the order is placed and held, then the customer self-remediates any issues on their own time. No blocked sales. No CSR calls.
AI-Powered, Not Rule-Based
eCheckpoint relies on rule-based document parsing. ShipToVerified uses AI-powered document extraction to accurately read IDs — even blurry photos or unusual formats. The result: a 98% auto-verification rate with under 60 seconds average turnaround.
Built for More Than Just Firearms
eCheckpoint is a firearms-only compliance tool. ShipToVerified is a shipping verification platform built for any regulated industry. If your business ships multiple categories of restricted goods — or expands into new ones — you need a platform that grows with you.

One platform. One API. One verification workflow. Whether you ship firearms parts, cannabis products, or luxury goods — ShipToVerified handles it.
