See every featureSelling alcohol, vape, tobacco, cannabis or CBD? Hulk Age Verification puts an age gate popup in front of your store before a visitor can browse or buy. Gate the whole store, a page, a collection or a product. Set different ages per product group (cigars at 18, whisky at 21) and per country. Visitors who pass are remembered at the highest age they confirmed, and birth dates are never stored. Free to start.
Stores selling alcohol, tobacco, vape, cannabis, or other age-restricted goods often must confirm a visitor's age before allowing them to browse or buy. SunGate adds a configurable age gate that asks the visitor to enter a date of birth or answer a yes/no prompt. Underage visitors can be redirected away or blocked at checkout. Merchants set the minimum age, gate text, and display style from the app admin.
