- > SFW Tour -> Ready To Join=Yes? -> AgeVerify>18=Yes? -> Create Token - > Complete Purchase -> Bind Token - > Proceed to Members area.
The idea is that now if the feds knock on your door, they will ask to see that your paying member was actually age verified.
It sounds complicated but it is actually not too hard to do.

[Project Drop] Universal Age Verification System for Adult Sites
A Million-Dollar SaaS Idea Built for the New Laws
[hr]
The Problem
New age verification laws are cracking down across the U.S., UK, and beyond.
Adult site owners are scrambling. Traffic is dropping. Lawsuits are looming.
Most of them:
- Have no technical ability to implement age verification
- Don't want to spend $1,000s building custom solutions
- Just need something simple that works
[hr]
The Opportunity
What if you built a
drop-in age verification system that works for
any adult site?
Not just a WordPress plugin — but a universal copy/paste script they can use
in 60 seconds.
Think Google Analytics... but for age compliance.
[hr]
Flow Diagram: How It Works
Code:
User visits site
↓
Geo Check (e.g. FL, UK?)
↓
Yes → Require Age Verification
No → Soft Gate / Optional
↓
SFW Tour (optional)
↓
"Ready to Join?" Prompt
↓
Age Verification (Yoti, Veriff)
↓
Create Token
↓
Complete Purchase
↓
Bind Token to User
↓
Access Members Area
[hr]
MVP Flow (Backend + Frontend)
- User visits site
- JS Snippet runs → Geo check
- If restricted state → Show modal
- User verifies age via ID or selfie
- Your backend issues a secure token
- Token passed to billing (CCBill, Segpay, etc.)
- Token is bound to user after purchase
- Access granted to members area
[hr]
Tech Stack Recommendation
Code:
Frontend JS → Vanilla JS or React
Modal/Embed → Custom JS + CSS (one-liner)
Backend API → Node.js + Express OR FastAPI
Token System → JWT (signed)
Age Verify → Yoti or Veriff API
GeoIP → IPinfo / MaxMind / ipapi
DB → PostgreSQL
Admin Panel → Supabase or React + Firebase
Payments → Stripe (for your SaaS billing)
[hr]
Client Integration (One Line of Code)
Code:
<script src="https://yourdomain.com/agegate.js" defer></script>
What it does:- Detects geo region
- Shows age modal if needed
- Handles verification + token
- Securely stores age verification
- Passes it to the site’s billing system
[hr]
Admin Panel for Site Owners- Get embed code
- View verification logs
- Customize logo/colors (Pro/Agency tier)
- Export compliance logs
- API access for advanced devs
[hr]
Monetization Plan
Code:
Free → $0 → Click-to-confirm modal only
Starter → $19/mo → Token-based flow, basic logging
Pro → $49–99/mo → Full ID verification, logs, branding
Agency → $499+/mo → Multi-site, white-label, API access

ChatGPT:
Phase 1: System Architecture Overview
Frontend (Embed on Any Site)
1 JavaScript snippet to load everything:
html
Copy
Edit
<script src="https://yourdomain.com/agegate.js" defer></script>
Shows age gate modal
Handles UI logic and token storage (cookie/localStorage)
Backend (Your SaaS Service)
REST API for:
GeoIP lookup
Age verification initiation/status
Token issuance
Token validation
Admin panel for client sites to:
Register site
Get their embed code
Monitor verification logs
Customize branding (optional)
Phase 2: Technology Stack
Layer Tech (recommended)
Frontend JS Vanilla JS or React (for modal)
Backend API Node.js + Express or FastAPI (Python)
Auth/Tokens JWT (signed, expiring access tokens)
DB PostgreSQL (store verifications, tokens)
CDN/Deploy Vercel/Render for frontend, Railway/Render for backend
GeoIP IPinfo, MaxMind, or ipapi
Age Check Yoti API, Veriff API
Phase 3: Flow in Code Terms
1. User Loads the Page
Your script loads, checks location:
js
Copy
Edit
fetch('https://your-api.com/geoip?ip=USER_IP')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(({ requiresVerification }) => {
if (requiresVerification) showAgeGateModal();
});
2. User Completes Verification
Modal pops up → embedded Yoti SDK:
js
Copy
Edit
Yoti.startVerification({ client_id: "your_client_id" })
Once verified, your backend gets the callback.
3. Backend Issues Token
js
Copy
Edit
const jwt = sign({
user_id: anonId,
age_verified: true,
region: "US-FL"
}, JWT_SECRET, { expiresIn: "30d" });
Stored as:
json
Copy
Edit
{
token: "abc123...",
site_id: "example.com",
verified_at: "2025-04-04T12:00",
verification_method: "Yoti"
}
4. Client Site Receives Verified Token
You set a secure cookie or give them:
js
Copy
Edit
window.localStorage.setItem("ageToken", token);
5. On Purchase or Member Login
Client sends:
http
Copy
Edit
POST /validate-token
Authorization: Bearer abc123...
You verify:
js
Copy
Edit
jwt.verify(token, JWT_SECRET)
If valid: allow access.
Phase 4: Admin Dashboard for Clients
Allow clients to:
Add domains
View token logs
Get their embed code
Manage plans (Stripe integration)
Use:
React + Tailwind
Supabase/Auth for quick user management
Stripe for billing/subscription
Phase 5: Monetization Plan
Free plan: Basic click-to-enter modal
Starter: $19/mo — token + soft compliance
Pro: $49–99/mo — ID verification, analytics, legal templates
Agency: $499+/mo — white-labeled, multi-site dashboard
What’s Next
I can:
Sketch the full code repo structure
Draft your first frontend embed script
Write your backend API endpoint structure
Design the admin dashboard
Build a landing page for sales
