The Automated Compliance Flow
How Entrinsia secures your checkout in 4 steps
ID Validation
Under-30-second scan and liveness check to confirm 18+ age before payment is processed.

Everything you need to know about the law and the Entrinsia integration.
What if I am not on BigCommerce?
While we are a BigCommerce Technology Partner, Entrinsia is platform-agnostic. Our ZeroTrust flow can be integrated into Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify Plus, or custom-built headless storefronts. Book a call to discuss the specific implementation for your stack.
What specific parts trigger these requirements?
The law is broad. It covers "firearm precursor parts" including threaded barrels, trigger groups, bolt carrier groups, and upper receivers. If it's a pressure-bearing component or a tool used to assemble a firearm, California requires this verification.
How do you prevent address mismatches?
To eliminate human error, we extract the address directly from the California ID and automatically populate the shipping fields in your checkout. We then lock those fields so the customer cannot redirect the shipment to a non-verified address.
Do I have to store photos of customer IDs?
No. Entrinsia follows zero-document retention principles. We verify the ID, keep a compliance record proving the check occurred, and immediately shred the image. You get the proof of compliance without the data breach liability of storing customer ID photos.
How long does the guided setup take?
Because AB1263 requires specific UI placements and legal attestations, we provide a guided "white-glove" setup. For most retailers, we can have your workflow live and tested in under 60 minutes during our implementation call.
What happens if a customer's ID address is out of date?
Per AB1263, if the shipping address does not match the ID, the sale cannot proceed. Our system will flag the mismatch and prevent the checkout from completing. This is a legal requirement of the state of California to ensure only residents at their verified addresses receive these parts.
