Problem and result

Shopify Age Verification App: A Sensible Gate for Age-Restricted Products

Stores selling alcohol, vaping, knives or adult goods usually want visitors to confirm their age before browsing. A clear popup does that without a paid app, as long as it remembers the answer, lets crawlers in and works with a keyboard. It is a courtesy gate and not proof of age.

Before

Products that need a gate and have none

Visitors land straight on age-restricted products with no check, or an app popup slows the page, blocks search engines or reappears on every page.

After

A gate that asks once and stays out of the way

A clean popup asks for confirmation on the first visit and remembers the answer. Under-age visitors are sent away politely, and search engines and keyboard users are handled properly.

What is included

What Your Age Verification Popup Includes

When you add an age verification popup to a Shopify store, you get a gate that is clear, light and accessible.

Implementation checklist

  • A popup shown on the first visit asking for age confirmation
  • Yes and No buttons, or a date of birth field, as you choose
  • The answer remembered for a set number of days
  • A polite exit page or message for visitors who are under age
  • An age limit you set, with optional limits by country
  • The gate skipped for search engine crawlers so the site stays indexable
  • Focus kept inside the popup, with keyboard and screen reader support
  • Handover note showing how to change the wording, age or time remembered

A popup is a courtesy gate and cannot prove a visitor's age, so products that need stronger checks may also need checks at delivery, which remain your responsibility. We give no legal advice on age rules, and apps for stronger checks carry their own plans and terms that we do not quote.

See how it works

From an Open Store to a Clear Age Gate

Follow one first visit on a phone. The shopper sees the age question, confirms and browses, and is not asked again.
