A Solution to Verify Customer’s Age before Selling Prohibited Products Online

Selling age-restricted products online often requires preventing visitors under a certain age from browsing your store.

Why do you need to verify age?

If you are a liquor retailer or your store sells tobacco, e-cigarettes, spirits, and other such age-restricted products that can only be purchased if the customer is over a certain age; then it is necessary to prevent the visitors from entering your site until the age can be verified.

Shopify Age Verifier App

Why do you need this app? The answer is very very simple – In certain cases, you need to apply some verification procedure before a user can access your store.

That’s why we have developed the Age Verifier App which allows you to display such verification Pop-ups in your store.

Installing an app adds a special Pop-up window to your store that asks new visitors to verify their age or direct them away if they do not meet the age requirements.

Few of the key features in a glimpse:

1. Age Verification Pop-up window
2. Customizable Pop-up Content
3. Restrict access to Under-age visitors
4. Age verified via Birthdate

And More…

How to install and configure?

The age Verifier app features self-administration on the following setups:

Layout Setup

It allows you to set two different types of layouts for a Pop-up window.

1. Transparent – You can set the background color and its opacity.
2. With Background – If you want to place the image as a background, you can do it with the help of this layout.

Functional Setup

In this admin can change the Pop-up verifier settings as per the need and verify it before the customer’s visit. Here’s a list of the field given:

1. Minimum age – allows you to set the minimum age of the user to enter your online store. You can set any number (18,19, etc) of years you like to determine the required age for entry to the store.
2. Remembers visitor – keep the record of each visitor till the number of days you define in this field. For example, if you define 3 then it will keep the information of the particular user for 3 days, and after that user has to verify his/her age again.
3. Are active birthdates – If you want to enter the Birthdates of the user in the age verification pop-up, you need to check this box. Users will be showcased with Year, Month, and Day select menus to enter their Birthdates.
4. Enter Button Title – Specify the text of your choice to enter (Enter, Submit, etc).
5. Exit Button Title – Specify the text of your choice to exit (Leave, Exit).
