How matching works

Know what each result means.

The screening status tells you where the check stands. Shopify keeps track of fulfillment separately.

No match found
Screening completed without a potential match under your settings. Continue with your usual order checks and fulfillment.
Requires review
A possible match or incomplete identity details need your attention. Open the evidence before deciding how to handle the order.
Completed
Your team recorded Proceed or Do not proceed. The decision and its reason stay with the screening record.
Pending
A current screening result is still needed. Check the screening details for progress or guidance if a check could not finish.

Screening helps inform your decision. Applicable restrictions can also depend on the goods, end use, and other transaction details. Read the product scope.

Keep up when order details change.

A change to a billing or shipping name, company, or address prompts another check. The latest result returns to Shopify, while earlier evidence and decisions stay connected to the order.

If the updated details need review, your team sees a new request to review that order.
