Shopify theme with an age verification popup

Ask visitors to confirm their age before entering the store, and redirect those under age.

Saves €4/month

The problem

Stores selling alcohol, vapes, CBD or other age-restricted goods are usually expected to gate the site. An age-gate app is one more script on every page and one more monthly bill.

The solution

PopsSaves €4/month includes an age verification popup. It opens on the first visit, asks the visitor to confirm they meet the minimum age you set, and sends anyone who declines to the page of your choice. A confirmation is remembered in a cookie for a year, so returning visitors aren’t asked again.

How it works

  1. Enable the popup

    In the theme editor, turn on the age verification popup section.

  2. Set the minimum age

    Choose the age visitors must confirm, e.g. 18 or 21.

  3. Choose where under-age visitors go

    Enter the redirect link used when a visitor says they are under age.

Questions merchants ask

  • Is a popup enough to comply with the law?

    That depends on your country and products. The popup collects a declaration; if your market requires ID checks at checkout or delivery, you need those as well.

  • Will it get in the way while I edit the theme?

    No. It stays closed in the theme editor and only opens on the live store.
