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, plus a $1,000 one-time setup. 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 91% 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.
