How it sells itself

AgeGuard adds an age verification gate to your Shopify store, helping you stay compliant when selling alcohol, tobacco, vape, CBD, or other age-restricted products. Choose between simple button confirmation or date of birth verification. Set your minimum age from 13 to 25. Customize colors, fonts, text, and logo directly in the Theme Editor. A browser cookie remembers verified visitors.

Accept payment, then request an ID check. HonestGate Age Gate App is simple to use and easy to integrate! Add a theme-aware storefront age prompt without editing code. Staff review the first ID in Shopify admin; later eligible orders from the same customer account can reuse that approval. Private image access, raw-image deletion, approval-expiry controls, and an optional fulfillment hold support the workflow.

Key points
  • One-click setup in Theme Editor — no code, live in 30 seconds
  • Two modes: simple button confirmation or date of birth verification
  • Fully customizable colors, fonts, text, logo, and button styles
  • Privacy-first; only a browser cookie, zero personal data collected
  • Add a theme-aware age prompt without editing storefront code
  • Request an ID image only after Shopify confirms payment
  • Manually review the first ID from one Shopify admin queue
  • Reuse an approval for eligible customer-account orders
