Webshops, platforms and stores use it to check age and identity with MitID, BankID and other European eIDs." url: /companies/verifyid markdown: /companies/verifyid.md updated: 2026-10-13 --- # VerifyID CTO · Aug 2024 to now · Denmark, remote · live > A Danish identity company. Webshops, platforms and stores use it to check age and identity with MitID, BankID and other European eIDs. Positions: - Chief Technology Officer, Full-time, Aug 2024 to now I've been its CTO since the first commit in August 2024, and I built the platform the company runs on. VerifyID was named Identity Week Europe Start-up of the Year 2026. ## What I built - **Age checks for webshops.** The WordPress and WooCommerce plugins, the Shopify app with the check inside Shopify checkout, the PrestaShop module, and the Wix app and Magento module. A shop can protect one product, a category or the whole store, and let shoppers from outside Denmark through where it allows that. - **eIDs.** MitID through a certified broker, with age only and full identity flows, and BankID for Sweden and Norway. - **The merchant platform.** Sign up and onboarding with company lookup, domains, verification records and exports, the compliance certificates a shop can send to the authorities, a partner panel for resellers, sign up flows for payment partners like Quickpay, and the admin back office. - **The new merchant dashboard.** In 2026 I rebuilt the merchant dashboard in React and brought the whole platform, emails included, to Danish, English, Swedish and Norwegian. - **Billing.** The billing behind VerifyID's products: subscriptions, usage billing, annual plans, a free plan, discount codes and a billing center. - **Developers.** A REST API, a MitID API and the developer docs at docs.verifyid.dk. - **More than age checks.** TaxBridge for DAC7 reporting, the KYC flows and the new verifyid.dk website. I also worked on IDPoint and prototyped the smart lock behind MitID Lås, both described below. I built CreditID too, an MitID based credit check for B2B webshops, in 2025. It didn't launch. - **Running it.** I run the technology day to day: hosting, deployments, staged rollouts, tests and fixes. ## What VerifyID does - **Age verification.** A MitID age check inside the webshop, at checkout or in front of the whole site. - **eID API.** European eIDs through one API, with VerifyID as the data processor. - **KYC flows.** Onboarding and anti money laundering checks built on MitID and European eIDs. - **TaxBridge.** DAC7 reporting for platforms and their sellers. - **MitID Lås.** A QR code at the door: the customer logs in with MitID and the door opens, and every entry is logged. Built for unmanned shops, solariums and showrooms. - **IDPoint.** An in store ID scanner that checks age on the device. It's in beta. ## Integrations | Name | What | Since | | --- | --- | --- | | [Shopify](https://apps.shopify.com/verifyid-mitid-aldersbekraeft) | The check inside Shopify checkout, on the Shopify App Store | November 2024 | | [WooCommerce](https://verifyid.dk/integrationer/woocommerce) | One product, a category or the whole store | September 2024 | | [WordPress](https://verifyid.dk/integrationer/wordpress) | A MitID check in front of a page | August 2024 | | [PrestaShop](https://verifyid.dk/integrationer/prestashop) | A back office module for products, categories and checkout | October 2024 | | [Wix](https://verifyid.dk/integrationer/wix) | An app switched on from the Wix dashboard | | | [Magento](https://verifyid.dk/integrationer/magento) | A module for Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source | | | [REST API](https://docs.verifyid.dk) | Age and identity checks for any platform | September 2024 | | [MitID API](https://docs.verifyid.dk) | MitID for developers | March 2026 | ## Timeline - **August 2024.** First commit and the merchant platform.
