Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureEasily protect your store and meet legal requirements with a customizable age verification popup. Whether you're selling alcohol, adult products, or restricted content, our solution helps ensure only eligible visitors can access your site. Perfect for wine shops, vape stores, CBD sellers, and adult content sites. Install now and start verifying visitor ages with ease.
Sell age-restricted products — vape, tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, CBD, kratom — without an age check you can't prove. AgeProof shows a storefront age gate (one-tap or date of birth; the birth date is never stored) and backs it with a server-side checkout block, so a shopper who skips the gate can't buy. Every check is logged — verified or blocked, method, minimum age, country — with CSV export.
