1. A computer-implemented method for enrolling consumers, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to enroll a consumer, the request including a merchant identifier uniquely identifying a merchant of a plurality of merchants and an identity of the consumer;
determining whether the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account; and
responsive to a determination that the identity of the consumer in the request is for a new account;
instructing the consumer in the request to perform a scan from a scanning device for verification at the merchant;
receiving a scanning result from the consumer, wherein the scanning result includes information to identify the consumer;
storing the scanning result as a verification data item that is associated with the merchant identifier and the identity of the consumer in the request; and
generating a random value uniquely identifying the verification data item associated with the merchant identifier and the identity of the consumer in the request.
