See every featureTillward Age Verification adds an age gate to your storefront. Ask for a yes or no, a birth year, a date of birth or a ticked box, and set the minimum age. Show the gate store-wide or on chosen collections, products or product tags. At checkout, those products stay blocked until the buyer has passed the gate. Set your own wording, logo, colors and layout. An audit log records each check and exports to CSV.
Most age verification apps use self-certification — customers click "Yes, I'm 18" and that's it. That's not verification. Tessera uses EU Digital Identity Wallets for cryptographic age proof. Customers scan a QR code, their wallet confirms age_over_18 — no names, birthdays, or ID scans. Just a yes/no answer. Gate your entire store, tagged products, or collections.
