Age verification for Shopify

A Shopify age gate, done properly.

Six designed templates. Precise targeting rules. Fast, lightweight, and SEO-safe. Built for Shopify merchants selling wine, spirits, beer, tobacco, vape, CBD, and other age-restricted products. And because verification runs entirely in the visitor’s browser, no personal data ever reaches our servers.

Better where it counts.

01

Looks like part of your store

Six templates designed by people who care about typography and tone, not a bolted-on third-party widget. Customize every word and color to match the rest of your brand.

02

You stay in charge of the rules

Decide where the gate appears, who sees it, and what it asks. Scope by URL, product tag, country, or crawler. Bypass search bots to protect SEO. Adjust anytime, no developer needed.

03

Nothing stored means nothing to breach

Verification runs in the visitor’s browser. Birth dates, IPs, and session data never reach our servers. Results live in your Shopify admin as order tags — where they belong.

What’s included

Every feature included. No upsells.

TEMPLATES

Six polished templates, fully customizable

Editorial, Minimal, Bold, Estate, Split, and Banner. Each is designed to feel at home on a serious merchant’s storefront, not like a bolted-on third-party widget. Pick any of ~200 hand-curated Google Fonts (separate title and body), tune the popup, brand mark, and headline sizes independently, and edit every visible word. Design preview with Mobile / Desktop toggle so you see exactly what your visitors will. See all six →

BRAND

Pulls your brand straight from Shopify

Your logo and brand colors come directly from Shopify Settings → Brand. One click and the gate is on-brand — no copy-pasting hex codes, no re-uploading logos. Already configured your Shopify brand? You’re halfway done.

CUSTOMIZE

Every detail, exposed in one admin

The Gatekeeper admin is where the entire product lives — no buried settings, no second console, no premium tier hiding the good stuff. Pick a template and edit every visible word. Set three custom colors or pull them straight from Shopify. Choose your verification style (DOB, Yes/No, or checkbox), set the minimum age per country, and decide how long verified visitors are remembered (1 day to 1 year). Build rules around URL patterns, product tags, geographic regions, schedules, and bot bypass. Preview everything live, on simulated mobile and desktop, before activating the gate.

RULES

Precise control over where the gate appears

Scope by URL pattern, product tag, country, or user agent. Bypass search crawlers to protect SEO. Set different minimum ages for different jurisdictions. Pick the verification style that fits your category — date of birth (recommended), a simple Yes/No, or a confirmation checkbox. Every rule evaluates client-side, in milliseconds.

PERFORMANCE

Fast, lightweight, no layout shift

The gate ships as a Shopify Theme App Extension — not a third-party script tag. Tiny bundle, no render delay, no layout shift. Your storefront stays fast.

TAGGING

Every verified order, tagged in your admin

Verified visitors who complete checkout have their orders automatically tagged (e.g. age-verified-21). Your audit trail lives in Shopify, where it belongs.

ANALYTICS

Aggregate-only, honest analytics

See pass rates, country breakdowns, and daily trends without us ever touching a single visitor’s identity. What we show you in the dashboard is what we have — nothing more.

Templates

Six designs. Pick one that feels like you.

Each template is a complete, considered look. Magazine-feel typography, spartan minimalism, high-contrast statement design, refined estate styling, and split or banner layouts. All templates are fully customizable to your brand.

Common questions

The three things every merchant asks.

Will it slow my store?

No. The gate is a lightweight Shopify Theme App Extension — not a third-party script tag. No render delay, no layout shift, no impact on your site speed.

Will it hurt my SEO?

No. Gatekeeper ships with a pre-configured rule that bypasses the gate for search crawlers. Your products remain indexable; your visitors still see the gate.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime by uninstalling Gatekeeper from your Shopify admin. Subscription fees follow Shopify’s standard non-refundable policy — the 14-day free trial is the risk-free way to evaluate the app.
