This section describes how to use the AgeVerification endpoint to verify that purchasers or recipients of alcoholic beverage transactions are within the legal age limit for the jurisdiction(s) where you are shipping to.

Important: Running the Age Verification endpoints in production will incur costs. Review the Avalara Supplemental Terms for more information.
