Why am I being asked to verify my identity?

If you’ve received a text message or email from us asking you to verify your identity, it’s because your order triggered a security check in our system. With the rise of online fraud—especially in the electronics space—we’ve built smart, network-wide fraud detection tools across all PayMore Store platforms to protect both our customers and our business. Sometimes, these systems flag orders based on factors like being a first-time customer, placing a high-value order, or unusual transaction activity. When that happens, we may ask you to complete a quick identity verification. There’s no need to worry—this process is handled through our trusted partner, Stripe, which uses advanced encryption and strict data privacy practices to keep your information safe.
