Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureAgeGate shows an age verification popup before visitors enter your store, helping you stay compliant when selling alcohol, tobacco, vape, CBD, or other age-restricted products. Verify by date of birth, checkbox, or single button, and target specific pages, collections, products, or tags. Enter your own wording in any language, customize colors, logo, and fonts, and track verifications with a built-in dashboard.
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.
- Verify by date of birth, checkbox, or one-click button
- Live preview while you edit colors, text, sizes, and minimum age
- Installs as an App Embed with no theme code changes or developer help
- Cookie remembers verified visitors for 1 to 365 days, set by you
- An unbypassable, server-side checkout block, not just a popup shoppers can skip
- A real storefront age gate via a theme app embed that never edits your theme
- A tamper-evident compliance log of every check, exportable to CSV
- Gate only the products that need it, with a minimum age set per country
