When you say "this" do you mean "Stripe Identity?"

  Yes I'm talking from a customer point-of-view. Was trying to buy a vps and they for some reason wanted to scan my driver's lic using this before I could pay through Paypal. Yes I was trying to buy via PayPal but this was step 1 for some reason. So I have only seen this work from the customer's point-of-view and it was not a good experience for me. I am a very patient person as i scanned my dl 4 times on desktop using a webcam capable of recording 1080p. Then i tried with a mobile and that didn't work either. A less patient man would have quit much sooner. I tried my best then just bought from the next site because they connected the Pay button directly to Paypal.

    I think they mean 'was it stripe identity' (there is stripe branding during verification) or was the company using some other solution. The experiences I've heard from bot developers using Discord and thus their Stripe Identity verification haven't had any issues.

      Yes it was stripe identity 100% not a custom solution. I think my experience was bad because it wanted to scan the back of my card which is just empty. Hopefully their tech will improve with time but my original point still stands. Don't do it Unless absolutely necessary. I was gonna pay with Paypal and chances of fraud with PP are very less anyway. They did lose a recurring customer that day since I couldn't pass this verification.
