1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- using a computer processor to perform steps, comprising;
receiving a verification request to verify a consumer, the request including a merchant identifier uniquely identifying a merchant of a plurality of merchants and an identity of the consumer;
receiving a selection of a scanning device selected from a list of scanning devices by the consumer;
transmitting device-specific instructions to the consumer to activate the scanning device selected by the consumer;
receiving a scanning result from the consumer using the selected scanning device based on the device-specific instructions; and
determining whether the scanning result matches verification data item associated with the merchant identifier and the identity of the consumer.
